Ok, well, being the sportsfan that I am, I need to share the latest on the athletes in this house. First of all, let me just say that Rick and I are happy our children love to be involved in sports, and secondly, we are glad Amber is finished her team sports for the year. (We said "no more." One can only do so much driving...)
Amber was involved with the junior bball and vball teams this year at King's. They take sports very seriously at King's. There were multiple practices and games every week. The bball team was an energetic bunch of girls. They didn't win a single game, but they did have fun. They learned a lot, and coach Bulthuis is excited about next year. (Girls bball is very intense!) Vball was much of the same but less intense and not as exciting to watch. Not much winning was going on, but hopefully they'll be that much better next year.
Taylor has been on the school soccer team, vball team, hockey team (the only female on it), and most recently the bball team. I was a little concerned about the hockey thing this year, but she held her own...and had she not been playing, I never would have had the chance to meet Gary Roberts. She played in two tournaments and they did quite well. (yes that is her in the penalty box)
Bball just finished and the Trinity team won their first tournament and went to the final-four in their second tournament. It was great stuff to watch and cheer. I had several parents tell me that my little Taylor is very aggressive on the court. I'm no expert when it comes to bball, but I suppose that explains the many fouls. I was proud of her and I look forward to next year when she'll be the senior on the team. DV. Well, that's the latest from the world of Schenk sports. If you were privileged to watch some of that action I'm sure you'll agree with me that our children certainly get a lot of that, shall we say, "enthusiasm" from their father. (Ok, they can't help it b/c it's in their genes...Rick and I are both very competitive...sorry kids!)

Then there's Taylor. She has been on every sports team she could try out for this year, the exception being cross-country. This is the first year she didn't run cross-country, but she promises me she'll do it again next year...we shall see about that. Levi ran cross country this year and made it to the All-Ontario Christian meet. He did very well and enjoyed it very much.

You just had to put the picture of me in the penalty box! :)
