Nearest and Dearest: Game Day

This fall we became one of those families who run from sporting practice to sporting practice, game to game. I swore we would never be those people which was very easy when the girls were not old enough to be involved in organized activities. I should have know that I would eat my words eventually and for the past few weeks I have. Abby is cheering once again but this year for the Due West Hoya's, an awesome organization compared to our experience last year. Maddie is playing soccer for the YMCA and Destiny is getting ready to begin Tae Kwon Do twice weekly. Add Bud's new softball team and my nursing organizations and I am sure that someone (me) will be crazy by November.

Yesterday was the first game day for both girls. We left the house at 9:15 a.m., returned at 1:00 p.m., left at 2:00 p.m. and got home at 6:00 p.m. Maddie's team won a game and lost a game. She scored her first goal of the season and loved the snack that the team mom handed out. Abby cheered hard , loved the snack and goodie bag she got from the opposing team's cheerleaders and then had a massive nosebleed that scared every parent within 50 feet. (I think it was from being hot and overheated so Daddy carried her to the car and turned the A.C. on quick).

I wish to point out that if you visit the Gamblin's at any point between now and then end of November, our house will not be clean and the laundry will not be done but our daughter's will be well-rounded athletes. At least that is the goal.
