Swimming in Camdenton MO

Where is our cute little guy gone?

 

Hard to believe the dashing young man standing in front of us today is the same cute little guy who use to run around our yard, just a mere 14 years ago.

50!

I like this, this is what Sonja used to make a birthday card for me.

Second Tournament

Just a few picture of Daniel and Sonja playing at the tournament this past weekend.

Basketball Season Again

With winter comes basketball season and both Daniel and Sonja are busy with practise and games.

No! this is not Daniel playing basketball, this is what he usually looks like when he is home. With practise up to five times a week, games, school, homework and whatever else he does, it wares the poor lad out, and very often if not frequently as soon as he sits down he is asleep.  He only has had two games so far but this coming weekend they have a tournament.  Hopefully i will have some picture of that and will post them for you.

Sonja has been practising and playing on the middle school team, (6th - 8th Grade) and they had their first games this past weekend.  Actually it was a tournament in which 5 team were competing so over the weekend they played four games.  Considering that this was their first games of the season and the quality of some of the other teams they did pretty well.  The last photo is of Sonja getting an award for the best forward of the tournament.  Sonja has now been drafted into the high school team (9th -12th grade) as they were short of players and she will also be playing in the tournament this weekend. 

Winter Again

Well winter has finally arrived, we have had a very mild November with no real cold temperatures worth talking about and only a few small snow showers which didn't last long.  My hope was that we would make it into December or even the new year with little or no snow.  Snow was forecast for yesterday and it started about three in the afternoon.  The photos below were taken this morning, yesterday there was no snow here and this morning there was already this much and it meant to snow for at least another 24 hours.  So it looks like this is it and we will have snow from now till early spring.
