The game

Amber's team won their game yesterday. They won 22 to 5. No injuries for Fairmont and they played their best game ever. No points for Amber this game. She forced a lot of turnovers. She fouled three times. She had a lot of assists. She played point guard which she hardly plays but does it well enough. The best part was when the other team went down the court for fastbreak and Amber flew down the court and before they could shoot she just plucked the ball right out of their hands and headed back down the court and they stood there like"Where did the ball go?". One of the dads of a girl on Amber's team asked me "Are you a Fairmont parent?" I said yes of course. "You couldn't be Amber's mom could you? You only look just like her." And then he said "I just love how she plays ball" He was so funny and excited through the whole game. It was great fun.

Today the kids get out early and Christmas vacation begins. Autumn has been singing We Wish you a Merry Christmas And she says "Good tithings to you to you and your him" She has a funny way she interprets things.

Lee Joe is going to be released from his scout calling and he is seriously relieved. So am I. He will be able to spend more time with his girls and he is so happy about that. He has been working almost two fulltime jobs lately and doing scouts. THe side work will slow down since this winter is so cold already and the ground is frozen so we will see much more of him.
