Busy time....

BEWARE: TONS of pictures! What a busy weekend for the Leonard's! Will play catch up on this post. Friday night we had our first pee wee basketball game of the season. We played in a tournament at Western Grove. We played Western Grove and lost by 2 points. Had a 10 point lead at one time! We were disappointed! Then Saturday night we went back and played Deer. We won that game in overtime by 2 points. WHEW! It was exciting. The boys played better the second night. Our next game is tomorrow night at Bergman.

On Saturday morning, Michael had his first high school soccer game of the season. We played at Mtn. Home. We played the Jr. Varsity team. We ended the clock tied 1-1. We then did a shoot out. We won 4-2. It was exciting!!!! Then after that, Michael and I helped with a G/T car wash at the bank parking lot for a fund raiser. (I can't believe I don't have any pictures of that!)

MARLEY UPDATE: She is rotten!!! She sure is a very playful puppy. We are all crazy over her. I'm beginning to wonder if she is causing Jacob to be sick. He has been sick for a couple of days...coughing...he is suppose to be allergic to dogs. If it keeps up....I don't know what we will do. 'Cause we can't have Jacob on meds all the time. She did escape from the fence one day last week. We think we have that problem fixed.

She is NOT a house dog!! She lives outside! But at night time she likes to come in and see us and get ready for bed! Here she is laying beside Jacob while he does his homework. Jacob doesn't play with her like Michael does. Michael is her MASTER and he loves her. He spends the most time with her trying to train her.

Sunday and Monday were spent at Fayetteville. Michael had to be in Fayetteville on Sunday to prepare for interviews for his "Fellow" scholarship. He had to be at the Clarion hotel by 3:00. At 3:30 he had to begin writing an essay for an hour. He had dinner with the chancellor, they went to the dorm on campus and visited with fellow people. Then on Monday, he had round table discussion with some professors and his 1:1 interview!!! We will know in a couple of weeks if he received it. They give out 75 of the "Fellow" scholarships. We certainly hope he is one!
I am leaving him in his motel room! They were paired up with room mates. Can you imagine sleeping in the same motel room with a total stranger!!!! NOT ME! I don't know how he does it! And then going and socializing with people you don't know!!! I could have NEVER done what he has done this weekend. This was hard leaving him. We stayed down the road at a different motel. He called me before he went to bed. He was so upbeat and sounded good. That made me feel so much better. You worry about your kids when you send them to kindergarten, will they make friends, will kids be nice....let me tell you...it is NO DIFFERENT when you send them away!


This is where he will be going to college at in the fall! I better get use to it!

Picture of the football field. Jacob can't wait to go to a football game in the fall. He knows we will go because we will get to see Michael. We will find any excuse to go see him! :)

This is "Old Main". It is the first educational building on campus. Built in the 1800's. Very historic for U of A.

This is the dorm he will be staying in. All honor students have to stay in this dorm the first year.

Picture of Pomfret dorm. It is old and ugly. It's a dorm!!!

Michael all dressed up in suit/tie for his interview.

We had a good trip.

Big day around here tomorrow!! Check back!! ;)
