Last summer, the St. Patrick School coach asked Jenn and I if we would allow Amber to play on the 7th grade basketball team. Amber is currently in 5th grade. After some counseling with the coach, we gave the decision our blessing. Since then, there is no dissapointment in the decision.
Amber is the second 5th grader in recent St. Pats history to be moved up. Coach belives she shows promise and dedication and wanted to extend greater growth and opportunity. So far, it has been a delight to watch our 10 year old (now 11 since Jan.) wake early (545a), pack her food and clothing for the day, and hit the gym for drills and learning. She is holding her own on the court and learning constantly. We did not know how competetive local girls basketball is!

So Grateful for the coaching staff and the supportive young ladies on the team. Moving forward in this journey of faith and adventure that the Lord provides. Praise God for this adventure!
Go Amber - mom and dad love you and support you!
