Up to Speed

Oh my gosh, I hadn't realized how much time had passed since I last updated this blog. No apolgies. Just on a whirlwind ride since November 9th. I'll try to bring you all "up to speed" in chunks so as not to overwhelm you.

Well, Larry survived the hurricanes and being at home for a time. That can be just as tricky as surviving a hurricane at times with three hormonal females in the house. He's still working in Ft Lauderdale and will probably continue to do so until June 2006.

November was filled with band tournaments in Chula Vista, Vista, Chino, and Arcadia. The marching sundevils were truly amazing (as always). If you haven't had a chance to actually see a band fieldshow you really must try to get to a good show some time. Once I figure out how to upload a DVD I'll do that and then you can watch it on the internet.

November 23rd marked the first Mt Carmel Girl's Basketball game of the 2005-06 season. They were invited to participate in the San Diego Tip-Off Classic against Montgomery. The game ended in a loss but it did get us started for the season.

We had a quiet Thanksgiving with Larry's Mom, Anne, who has had a very rough time this year and is now cared for at Coventry Court in Anaheim.

December was marked with two to three basketball games per week and band rehearsals for the Rose Parade and BandFest Competitions. The weather almost did us in throughout the Rose Parade experience. We were more than soaked but the band played on (drenched and waterlogged). They also played and marched down Disneyland's Main Street on New Year's Eve. Cara and I traveled between Rose Parade events in Pasadena and San Marcos, CA for the Excalibur Basketball Tournament of which they placed second after having placed first in the Above the Rim Tournament in La Jolla earlier in the month.

I'll tell you more about the basketball season in a second post.

January was filled with practice, games, and schoolwork.
February followed suit as did March.
April saw us starting up club basketball, Mt Carmel Lacrosse, Junior Papers, rain, college visits, trips to Vegas with band and basketball.

What will May bring...we'll see.
