And we're Back!!

What a weekend! We left Friday morning headed for the State Tournament. It rained for a lil in the morning before the tournament began and was an absolutely beautiful weekend for tennis. Our oldest played 2 really great matches and we are so proud of her. She lost both matches but learned a lot and had a lot of fun. It was a wonderful experience for her and the other girls as well. Her 1st match she played a sophomore from the KC area that had a record of 23-2. She was a great player and very talented. My hubby talked to her dad and he said all she does is play, play and play. And that definitely showed. She played in the Championship match this afternoon. We left before it started but with the 2 girls who were playing it was definitely going to be a great match! Our oldest's 2nd match was great as well until about the middle of the 2nd set. Her knee had given her some problems last year but hadn't this year until that match. She ended up losing and was so upset that her knee had to start hurting then of all times. Even with the losses she had a great experience and saw what it takes to win. We are so proud of her and all she has accomplished this year! The doubles team also lost their 1st 2 matches as well but our other singles player played awesome and placed 9th! We are so proud of all the girls who went to State. As the hosting school announced at the beginning. The fact that the girls made it that far was a huge accomplishment and something they will all remember for the rest of their lives. I don't have the pics off the camera yet but I will get pics posted soon as I do.

My hubby, middle daughter and I also had fun watching the matches. We ended up staying the night and went to dinner w/the other parents, coaches and players. It was a lot of fun. Our lil man stayed w/my wonderful sis in law and brother in law. We are so thankful and appreciative of them. We were able to watch the matches and not have to worry about lil man being loud or running all over the place. Thank you Thank you Thank you!! And of course he had more fun there w/his cousins.

Just wanted to update everyone and I will post more later. Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement and LOVE!!
