2 weeks - 2 injuries

I guess in a family that is active, precautions for injuries is always on my mind. Well, I haven't done a very good job in the last two weeks. While I was away on Saturday at a soccer tournament (my kids weren't even playing) Jessica was playing knock-out at home with dad and the other kids. She jammed her finger getting a rebound, and broke it (ouch). Not even a week later, Marissa is playing soccer in the back yard with her brothers and neighborhood friends. While she attempts to block a shot on goal (she's goalie), the ball bends her wrist back (too far). She ended up with a sprained wrist and a buckle fracture on her radius. Jessica is in a splint and Marissa dawns a beautiful baby blue cast (waterproof, of course)...I think I'm going to keep the boys inside for a few days...

Summer Camps

The first week of summer and already camps are in action.

Jessica is at Church Young Women's Camp with three friends, (Tyler, Meagan and Jenny). They camped at Otter Creek Metro Park; they had a great time! This was their 4th year so they had to do the 5 mile hike and camp overnight (away from camp). They came through with shining colors.

Devon went to Boy Scout Camp. He worked on five merit badges, Environmental Science, Personal Fitness, Citizenship in the Nation, Fingerprinting, Communication, and Weather. He loves BSA camp - he's off in his own world proving he actually doesn't need us. He does so great at camp.

Marissa went to Girl Scout Day Camp. Luckily she comes home each night (need her cuddles and hugs). She had a great time - this year's theme was all about cooking.

Robert is the major camper this year. He went to Cub Scout camp and had a great time with his friends! He also attended

Rojan Rondo's basketball camp - go Celtics!, While there he met Edgar Sosa of the UofL men's basketball team, and Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics.

Next week is Bellarmine University Soccer camp with friends from his team, Matthew and Mason. The last week of July is Thoroughbred Elite Soccer Camp.

Jessica is attending a special HS girls shooting clinic. She will be taking private basketball and track lessons.

Marissa is taking a girls basketball camp (being offered by Jessica's high school team). She has no interest in basketball - she just wants to support her big sister.

New School Record Set

I'm so excited. Jessica set a new school record for the 100 meter high hurtles at 19.11. She plans to work hard over the summer and get her time down into the 17 second range.

WAY TO GO JESSICA! She's on the Hall of Fame!
