Alex's Football Team is 3 and 0: Elyse's Volleyball, Not so Much

Kill on a "quick set".  Elyse loves these

Another great hit

Sporting events continue to consume our evenings.  The week ahead, Alex does not have a game, but Elyse has three nights of volleyball plus Saturday tournament AND it's Homecoming at Crestwood.  I have a feeling someone may be very grumpy when next Sunday rolls around.....guess who that might be???

Alex's 7th grade football team continues to do well and are 3 and 0.  I don't have pictures of Alex's last game because I was going to Elyse's volleyball game.  Wayne did videotape it so I will be posting video of his last game....he told me to post the parts where he had the sacks, which he was excited about!  So look forward to them soon.  Thanks Gma Janet and Papa for driving to New Hampton and cheering Alex on!  He was excited to have you there and for Papa to get to see him play.  :) You are known to our friends in Cresco as "The Traveling Grandparents" who don't miss much no matter how far you have to drive.  :)  Thanks!

Elyse's volleyball teams continue to go up and down.  Varsity is doing well, except they haven't won a conference game yet.  They have come close, very close, but no "win" for a conference game.  They have beaten everyone they have played out of the conference, so I guess it is up and down.  Her JV team has also come close to win many conference games and pulled off their first conference win the other night against Decorah.  The team played in a triangular and lost to Waukon (should have won) in 3 games and then beat Decorah in 3.  Elyse played fabulous!  The varsity coach was sitting my Wayne and me during the JV game and even commented how awesome Elyse played....probably her best all year.  She had a lot of "quick hits" and "kills" so it was a fun night for her.  Let's hope the team can continue to get more "wins" in the conference as volleyball will soon be over with. 

So, this week is called "survival".  Think Elyse will make it???? I hope so.......at least she will have a some fun with Homecoming as well!   Good luck this week Elyse!  and Alex.....enjoy practice. :)
