August update -2010

Hi :-)

The last month of Summer was a good one. It started out with Alexa's soccer tournament in NO CA, called the Mustang Stampede. They won 1 game and lost 2 games. Keri was able to visit with her college teammate - Tami Lightle (Carteen) and Glenda & Carl also came down to watch! Now, Alexa's EFC fall season starts in Sept. and she'll have tryouts for the 6th gr. Skyline select Basketball team too.

Next came Kourtney's "Big Foot" tournament, where the team was 1 PK from the Finals. (Kourts made her PK :-) But they had a great time camping, dancing and playing in the river, along with playing soccer. The next day, Kourtney's entire team was off to High School soccer tryouts. Kourtney made the Freshman/Soph. team with a few friends. It should be a good HS season! Her ISC team starts again in November.

Doug spent a week in Germany, brushing up on his Bravarian German, and playing in an "Oldtimer/All-star" game. The Straubing paper was having its 150 Anniversary and flew him in for the occasion. He had a GREAT time visiting with all of our friends and enjoyed celebrating the town's Volksfest (Oktoberfest-like). Straubing lost the game 11-8 or something like that, Doug had 3 assists, not bad for an old guy, who got put on the line with current DEL players.  Also, Happy B-day to Noah, who turned 15 on the 11th!

Last, both girls started school on Tues., Aug 31. Kourtney is a Freshman and Alexa is a sixth grader. The first day was very exciting, they both only got lost a couple of times, but survived!

Keri is still NED and her GM-CSF treatment is ongoing and seems to be keeping her CLEAN, just like we like it!! Thanks for your continued support!

Take Care and Happy Fall!

Go UW,  Go Skyline, Go EFC, Go ISC, Go Bulldogs!
