After 2 away games, we finally got to catch Checie's first home game. She is loving volleyball and is really enjoying getting to know the game. She is a setter and is having fun with that. More to come......BTW, she's #9.
We headed to Downey to celebrate Corynn, Camdyn & Nick's birthdays. It was nice to see family and hang out!
I guess two years in a row now makes it an "annual" hike! Even though he said he'd never do it again, Doug and his buddies hiked up Mt. San Jacinto on a beautiful Saturday morning. They had a great time and Doug said he wasn't as sore as he was last year....progress??
Chelcie had, what started off to be, a great first day of high school. By 2:30, however, she was not feeling too well.....being a mean mom, I told her to go to volleyball practice and see how she'd do. By 4, she called back and just couldn't finish practice and her coach said she didn't look too good. Poor thing came home, dropped onto the couch and was out. When I went to wake her up I realized she was burning up! She had a 101.8 temp and was not doing well at all. After a shower and homework, she headed to bed by 8:00....this morning it wasn't much better. A trip to urgent care resulted in a diagnosis of probable strep throat and some penicillin! We are hoping she will be feeling better tomorrow once she gets some of the antibiotics on board. So she missed her 2nd day of high school....we'll see how day 3 goes!
Madison had a great first day at school today! She has her first "man teacher" and he is just wonderful. He keeps referring to his "inner 10 year old" and likes to keep the kids busy learning and having fun and is definitely not boring! He told the class that his mom made him promise that when he became a teacher that he would not load his students down with homework....Madison and I are praising the Lord for that mother of his! She is really looking forward to this school year.
