Sydney's Homecoming

 Sydney's sophomore homecoming dance was held at the end of September.  She went with a big group of her girlfriends.  They all looked so pretty!

Sydney- Cross Country

Sydney is doing cross country this fall, which makes me so happy.  She's not only dealt with all of her knee issues, but also a hip stress fracture from track in January.  Then, more pain in her hip began and an MRI showed that she has another pre-stress fracture forming.  AND, her right knee has been more "loose" and an MRI showed that her MPFL (ligament that holds her knee in place) is lax.  We just found this out, so I'm sure PT will be in her near future.

The fact that this girl is so determined to go out every day and run amazes me!  She's been able to run in 2 meets (and one 5K) so far.  She had to sit one meet out.  She keeps improving her time, which I told her is all she needs to focus on!  So proud of her.

Here are some pics from the season so far:

Taylor's Volleyball Season

 Taylor's 8th grade volleyball season was fun, but short!  It was only like 7 weeks long.  Maybe that's normal, and I'm just used to the year-round antics of basketball.  ha!

Anyways, here are some pics of Taylor's season.  She said she doesn't want to play in high school, so this might be the end of this sport for her.  It's been fun and different from what we're used to!
