And the Winner Is . . .


Chris Morrison!! Chris had his wrestling banquet tonight. It was at the school and turned out very nice. When it came time for awards, Chris hit the jackpot. He got three awards and lettered for his second year. I was very proud of him and the hard work he put in over the season. It definitely paid off.
The first award he got was the coaches award. This one was chosen by the coaches.




The second award was for outstanding JV wrestler. His peers chose this award, which made it very special.



The last award he got was the scholar award. He has the highest GPA on the JV team and it turns out he has the 3rd highest out of all the wrestlers. Needless to say, this one makes me very happy:)




Chris also had a busy morning. He took the SAT for the first (and hopefully only) time. He thinks he did pretty good. I was looking at some of the practice questions on-line the other night and was soooooooooooo glad I wasn't having to take a test like that again!!


Chris is also in the midst of his lacrosse season. I actually have a couple of pictures to post this time. He is #21. He thinks his game is successful if he scores a goal and makes some good hits on people. He loves that part of the game!!!
















When we are not keeping up with Chris' schedule, I have been playing (or maybe winning by forfeit) a little tennis. Katie is also starting up another season of basketball. My main goal right now is surviving until Spring Break. Will it ever get here!!!???
