March (and late February) Madness!!

Last time I posted, Parker had just suffered a concussion in the Regional Championship basketball game. He has recovered completely - never had any physical symptoms, for which we are grateful. I've gotten the bills, the insurance payments, and thank goodness for ACCIDENT INSURANCE ~ because of that insurance, the "you owe" part is going to be less painful!

Parker played in the GISA/SCISA (GA/SC) All-Star Game in Augusta, GA~turned out we actually played in Columbia, SC. In a 36 hour of time, we traveled from Blakely to Damascus to Augusta-Columbia to home. GISA boys came home with a win and Parker had a good game. Baseball started during the same time, and Parker competed in quartet for Literary. We have traveled for baseball, Parker had Region Literary at ABAC in Tifton - Quartet placed second, so that means more traveling - to Valdosta for State, and baseball in between. And that's just PARKER'S life . . . the rest of us have stuff to do, places to be, people to see, too.

Quartet WON the State Competition - if you haven't seen the video, you can see it HERE. They did great - so proud of him. He is definitely a well-rounded young man. Oh, and he had one more basketball game to play, too - Deep South All-Star Classic in Albany. Played that game on March 19 - so we are OFFICIALLY finished with basketball for Parker. Never fear, though, Paxton will be on Varsity next year, and Paxton is ready to roll on with Coach B!

College plans are finalized - heading to Troy! A couple of his buddies are going too, so they are ready to take Troy by storm. Going on the 26th for another campus visit, T-Day Game, and night baseball. Remember those relationships and friendships you make early on - you may find that you will call on them later in life - Thanks BUDDY STARLING!!

As I'm sitting here watching basketball (Duke vs Michigan, Duke currently winning), I am thinking about our week ahead - work x 5 x 2; school x 5 x 2; baseball x 2; church x 2 . . . not a bad week ~ thinking about the weeks behind us makes me tired ~ and NOT thinking about the third week in MAY . . . at all!
