Here we are at five weeks. Gracie is very fussy after eating, especially in the afternoon. But she is sleeping at night in between eating. I tried to get her to take a nap in her crib but she really did not like that. I put her in her cradle and so far so good. She is not screaming yet... She has been going with me to the fitness center in the mornings and we take walks in the afternoon. Grandma Merrill came up today so Jasmine got to go too. We also took a big girl bath yesterday in the bathtub that her aunt Annie gave her. She didn't like that very much either, but she'll have to get used to it. She looks very happy in her crib in the picture, but this is very deceiving.

BIG NEWS

A LOT has happened since the beginning of September.  The month flew by, and there have been many softball games, football games, late nights, and early mornings.  What has transpired during the past week and a half was very unexpected and even more overwhelming.  So, just to put it out there, Gracie has decided to take the opportunity to graduate early and start her collegiate career a little sooner than expected... in January.  It's crazy even thinking about it, and the emotions have been all over the place for me.  This was not an easy decision, but at the same time, a decision that makes so much sense it's hard to think twice about it.  So, all other things aside, here is the story... September 20, after Gracie's softball games at home, we went to the Mizzou football game as a family.  We stopped by the softball tailgate to see some of Gracie's Aces teammates and their families who are now at Mizzou.  Both the head coach and the hitting coach ...

Closure for High School Softball

Wins, losses; we all experience both, sometimes very close together.  All in the same week... district championship win, then 5 days later state quarterfinal loss to end the season. Such a roller coaster and whirlwind of events.  Our girls had a great season and accomplished the goals they set.  District Champs and Conference Champs.  First time in over a decade for Southern Boone Softball to achieve either.  It's not that last loss against Cassville that gets to me.  It's the finality of all of it.  High School softball is done.  Finished.  Complete. Gracie said earlier this week that this is the first time she has been a student without the athlete part.  But what a ride it has been...but there is so much more coming. So excited after beating California to win Districts! The highs of winning with your team. Then, the last team huddle after the final out of the season. The last moments in the dugout This resonates with me always. ...

Fall Sports Conclude

Image
It's been almost three weeks and things are changing by the day.  The first round of district football was on Halloween, so the kids who did attend had fun with it and dressed up.  We also won, which meant that we got to play another game! Pre-game vs Fulton Gracie and Chase as Lola and Bugs Bunny from Space Jam My dad watching the football game from home. Owen got priority on the big screen. The World Series was on the small screen. Next game vs Moberly We played really well in the first half and were up, but ended up not being able to score in the 2nd half. The last game of any season is always tough. Owen #32 Owen with Pryce and Justice; two seniors Post-game Bentlage boys photo They were forced to take a pic with their mamas. It has been fun watching you, Owen. I am getting better at understanding what's going on. After November 7, fall sports were completely done.  It was very strange for Gracie to not go right into basketball practices or have Aces softball tourname...
