Hoop it up!

 Kate had a quick 6 week season this year.  She enjoys basketball and she is pretty aggressive, feisty and a lefty too!  Next year they transition to full-court basketball and she is excited.
 Great form Kate!
 The kiddos attended a basketball camp in December at Elevate. Sage was awarded Camper of the Day and Kate was the Hot Shot champ.
 Emma transitioned to travel basketball this year.  She practiced 2-3 nights/week with typically 2 games per weekend.  She loved it and she played anywhere from the #1-5 position.
They play equal playing time among the team so they typically play 2 of the 4 quarters.  The picture above is the first game that Emma fouled out in...yes, 5 fouls in only 2 quarters.  She was upset, but quickly got over it to cheer her team onto victory.
 The size difference between 4th graders is amazing.  Emma is pretty tall and she had fun playing defense this game on #23. 
And then there is Sage.  This boy can't get enough of sports.  He loved basketball this winter - especially because he got to play with his friend Ozzey.
Go Sage

Kate's First Reconciliation

 On Saturday, December 2nd, Kate received the sacrament First Reconciliation, which is celebration of God's forgiveness.  Kate met with a priest and discussed her sins and she received her penance which was to quietly pray back at her seat.  Unlike Emma, she was not nervous at all.
Prior to the ceremony, Kate and Papa looked read through some prayers.

Congratulations Kate!  We are so proud of you!
