Yesterday Charlie & Adam were in the mountains on a ski trip with their church youth group, so it was a perfect day for Jeff, Mason, & me to head to Indian Trail – on the other side of Charlotte – to see Daniel – Andy & Amy’s grandson and Nate & Diane’s son – play basketball. It was so much fun watching him play, and spending the day with such precious people. I got this picture of him keeping himself entertained on the sidelines when he wasn’t in the game – and this is the funniest thing. I didn’t even know that was his sister Mia walking in front of him when I took the picture. Ha.

Our basketball players posed for this picture together after the game 🙂

Last Thursday night was Clara’s voice recital. As a member this year of the CHS Choraliers – the high school chorus here in town – she takes private voice lessons, as all of the members do. Part of their final grade for the year is performing in this recital. She sang Ten Minutes Ago, from that latest Cinderella movie, and I thought she just did a great job. Although she has gotten used to singing some on her own this year in Choraliers, this was certainly outside her comfort zone, and we were so proud of her.

Afterwards at the little reception in the lobby of the chorus building. So, so proud.

I had been craving some barbecue, so yesterday after church Mason & I headed to Ole Carolina BBQ in Gastonia for me to get my fix. We had the best time visiting and catching up – he’s been busy with basketball, so I really hadn’t seen him since Christmas. Fun time.

Adam had TWO church league basketball games yesterday. Here’s a picture from each game. Luckily their jerseys are reversible :-). In the first picture you can see his Coach Dad standing in the background.

Last Sunday afternoon my friend Evelyn and I went to see a demonstration by the Civitas Drumline at the middle school just down the road from our house.  It wasn’t a finished production – just a show so their parents and friends could see a rough draft of their performance show for this spring – but that was a bunch of talented kids.  I had never seen an indoor drum line before, and they were so much fun to watch.  Of course still pictures cannot do the show justice, but here are a couple.

Saturday Jeff & I met Andy & Amy in Rock Hill to see the boys in action. Adam’s game was first. He played great & their team won big, as has been the case most games this season. Adam is #1, blocking the inbound pass.

Then on to Charlie’s game. Char got some playing time, and even though they went down in defeat, they played hard and were coming back, but just rant out of time. That’s Char right in the middle playing defense.
