What a Great Family Weekend!

WOW--what a fabulous family weekend!

Ky had her first water polo tournament at A&M.  Her first few weeks of college water polo weren't exactly what she was hoping for--no real coach and having to clean up Kyle Field after football games (especially the beer bottles) was not making it a win-win for her!  4 practices a week, 2 hours each night was putting a cramp in her studying so her goal was to make 2 practices a week.  She qualified for the Florida trip, but had a lab she couldn't reschedule.  So we were a little unsure how SAT was going to go--would her heart totally be in it?  After reading a blog she posted earlier in the week, I knew she'd be "game-on"!  It was so exciting seeing her play again.  And of course, we were the loudest parents cheering the Ags on!  She had to play her second to least favorite position (goalie being her very least favorite position!)  but she did so with passion!  She got beat-up quite a bit and ejected once in the first game and twice in the second game--Dad was so proud of her physical attitude!  (3 ejections and she would have been thrown out of the game!)  Her Ags team won 1 and lost 2, but she came out a winner.  It appeared her "is this all worth it?" question about polo was answered--Yes, it is!

While Kev and I were at A&M, Kole stayed in Houston with the Hettiger's to play in a tournament.  Anne and Steve were texting us play by play what was going on.  The Sandlot Swarm split the day 1-1.  But today we were back in town to watch him play.  He was so on--great hitting and dominating second base.  Superman was back making some of the plays he did!  What I'm most proud of is his effort--he's been working really hard lately trying to get out to the cages every night to hit, even when he's super-tired.  Hopefully this weekend he realized all his effort is paying off!

A weekend filled with watching our kids "do their thing"!
