Kids Updates.......

The REAL Ocho Cinco.......

Week number 3 of the High School football season is in the books, the Central sophomore team is 2-1, with wins over Muscatine (week 1) and North Scott last Friday. Their lone defeat was at Burlington last week, all three games have been extremely close scores, coming down to the last minutes of each game. The varsity team is 0-3, but they are not all that bad, the scores have not been blowouts.

Gabe is not getting much playing time, except on special teams and some series at outside linebacker. He sat out of Fridays game in Eldridge, a result of a concussion from earlier in the week during practice that caused him to miss a day of school.






Gabe, now a member of the Central Singers Inc., the varsity show choir team, will spend this week entrenched in rehearsals each day after football practice till 9pm. Their hired choreographer is in town for the week. Should be a long week!
He has gotten off to a great start in school, taking physics, Spanish, choir and a life guard class and he is also playing on a soccer team which plays games on Sundays around the area.


Abbi Update

Abbi starting swimming this week with the Metro team at Central, she was very excited to get back in the pool. In the spring/summer session, about 20 kids would show for practice. Now they have about 60 kids participating...thank you Michael Phelps! Dads Club soccer games were to start yesterday, but rain postponed the first weeks worth of games, we're working on 3 days straight of rain in the Quad Cities.

We were told by Abbi at the end of the school year she wanted to take violin lessons at school with the music instructor, so we rented a violin from the guy who works on my guitars. She is very excited and has been practicing a lot. Her friends seem quite jealous when she takes the violin out to show off!
Photo Above: Ambrose likes napping near the laundry area, Abbi decided to cover him up!


Elli Happenings


Elli is keeping herself busy with her Dads Club soccer team as well as her select team that plays on Sundays. Dads Club practice is Wednesday, select team is Tuesday and Thursday. Flag football practice is Wednesday after soccer, first game is next week. Both girls alternate scout meetings on Wednesdays before soccer. Wednesday are a little hectic, we call them...'crock pot' days.









A few weeks back Tiff and girls were bored so they decided to dress up the dog and have some fun. Elli is posing with Ambrose in his soccer uniform and in the photo to the left Ambrose declares who his favorite baseball team is......Go Cubs Go!
