Braces, glasses, and basketball

Abbey scored two points in her basketball game today! She brought the ball down the court and made a slow and jagged drive (perhaps I should say she meandered) down towards the goal and put up a shot, under heavy cover, from several feet outside the key. Swish!! She and her team had a great game today. I didn't get a picture of her actually scoring a goal, but I did get this one of her with the ball right after she grabbed a rebound.



Although Abbey's vision isn't terrible, somewhere around 20/30, she says her glasses have definitely made it easier to read the SmartBoard at school. Aren't they a nice shade of purple? Her braces are lavender, nicely complementing her glasses.





After so many days of cold, we suddenly have warm!! Yesterday was sunny and pleasant with a high that must have been in the 40s. Today we made it into the 50s!! The snow is melting fast, and the creeks are filling up. Cindy and both got out and ran today. I wore shorts!! Quinn went along on his bike and got totally soaked from riding through pools of snowmelt on the flooded sidewalks.
