Weather Day

School is canceled for Tuesday and Alabama seems to have closed early in anticipation of tomorrow's "weather event". Yup. No school, no anything because it might freeze overnight or we might get a flurry or two.

Apparently, southerners don't play around when it comes to two things...football and weather days.

Vivian's reaction to being told school is canceled...

Maxwell's reaction to living through his first Pennsylvania winter...

I don't have the heart to tell him we have a "weather day" tomorrow!

Ballers

I have no idea what possessed me to do this, but I volunteered to assistant coach Vivian's basketball team. I mean, for real...what in the world was I thinking?! I have found myself in plenty of situations where I've been out of my league, but for the most part, I've been able to fake it 'till I make it.

Well, not this time.

There's no faking it was 10 tween basketball players. The first practice someone tossed me the ball and I flinched and took a direct hit to the chest. Day 1 and my cover was totally blown. Thank God there's a good head coach (who I'm friends with) and another assistant (also a friend) that has actually played basketball before, not just watched it on TV. We decided early on that I would bring the smiles and the high fives and leave the basketball'ing to everyone else.

UAB for the win!

19-4

Happy New Year, Y'all

A fourteen hour drive to Texas...a reunion with our Kollweiler village family...an Iowa State playoff football game...and best of all, celebrating the New Year with our Garcia family in Rockport...

Here's to 2019!
