Way Too Long, Way Too Fast

Time and life fly by very fast.

It doesn't seem like it, but the facts don't lie. It has been over a year since the last post.

Since we left off with the final days of the 2008 division II AAU (amateur athletics union) 12 and under championships, I will start off there. The team finished 2nd in the nation to a very good Oklahoma Select team who we went 1-2 against in the tournament. We were the only team to beat them on their championship run. It was a great experience. Think Nadi really enjoyed her time in Bloomington. I know the rest of us sure did.

The next year had Nadi's first middle school season; Kaitlyn's venture into competive dance; Kevin, Kaleb, and Kaitlyn's cross country inagural season; Kyler's talking, walking, running, ... crazy! Let's just say a lot of growing in a short amount of time. The kids are all so much bigger.

Most recently, Kailyn finished 2nd at the 12 and under division I AAU nationals in Kingsport TN.

The first time the family was not in attendance as everyone else spent two weeks in New York with family for big Nana's birthday. I joined the weekend of the actual party and it was very fun. Kai got to go to both, so she had a blast and traveled quite a bit.

Kevin, Kaleb, and Kaitlyn are starting their 2nd season of cross country which I am going to try to help with while I still have some free time. Still coaching with the Miami Valley School (17-5 last year), so get very busy after October. Need to enjoy time with family before then.

Will make a concerted effort to keep you all up to date to keep us connected.
