March brought the start of our busy season..haha...well all of our seasons are busy but for just the second time ever, ALL FIVE kiddos are playing a sport and we are on the go at all times!
Hudson is fully into soccer season and it is going well. They are playing well and still learning a ton. Unfortunately, Hudson has had some growing pains and struggled with Osgood Schlatters in her knees all fall - thanks to a 4.5 inch growth spurt! We finally got that under control with a little time off over the winter only to hit ANOTHER growth spurt of 1.5 inches since December and now she has Severs Disease pains in her heel. Basically just growing pains, but now in her heel. The good news is she can play without hurting it worse, but she just had to play through the pain which is never fun! We also now have an 11 year old who is 5'5" and still growing!!!
Sullivan is fully into soccer season as well. After a tough fall season learning to play a whole new formation on the soccer field, her team is finding their stride and getting back to their normal form. They are still playing up against older boys but playing very well and really starting to put together everything we are trying to teach them.
For the littles and Thomas, baseball season has started!
Thomas is back playing on age, after a season of playing up, and is doing really well. He is still hitting the ball great but he is also really learning how to play defense in the field and has even thrown out a few runners!
The Twins are also playing baseball, in the same age group as Thomas (it's 6U so this is Thomas' last season in this age group) and they are LOVING it!
Tinsley is the only girl on the team and isn't phased by it at all. She has not gotten a hit yet, but she swings hard and gets closer and closer every game!
Conner is VERY into it. He has gotten at least one hit in every game.
Neither one of them love to play in the field...or really have a clue what's going on in the field...but they are having fun anyway!
As luck would have it, Opening day featured a match up between the Cardinals (the Twins' team) and the Dodgers (Thomas' team). I wouldn't sat it was a nail biter BUT, everyone had fun with minimal trash talk!!!
Other than sports 7 days a week, we have crammed in plenty of birthday parties and school events!
Oh, we even snuck in one more snow day the first weekend of spring break!
Now we just need the weather to make up its mind and stay warm because our sports schedules only get more and more jam packed in April and May!
Here are the rest of our adventures from March:
