Checking In

Hey Gang,
We had a another busy weekend. By my calculations we drove nearly 500 miles and slept in our own beds every night. Saturday we got to watch Hutton and Reagan play basketball. Connor played Thursday night.

Hutton was in a tournament in Denver City so we ended up driving back and forth Friday and Saturday. Saturday was one of those days where part of me wonders if we don't spend too much time and energy on sports and by far the bigger part of me just loves watching and being with my boys. Hutton played great. They lost the first two games and won the third one. In the last game he had a terrible 1st quarter, (three fouls, no points) but ended the last three quarters with a great effort. He hugely contributed to a come-from-behind 4th quarter win with defense and a couple of big baskets. It was awesome. I was so proud of the way he got his composure and fought back.

Yesterday we drove to Abilene to pick up Bailey's car. I now have three cars parked in my driveway. It's weird. I have been avoiding the bad news, but today I have to call the insurance agent. Oh well. For some reason, this is the biggest milestone so far in my parenting life. Lee Ann struggled with the beginning of school. This one is getting to me. I am not worried about her, but it does seem like I am getting older faster.

Grace,
