Connor Edward Wills, my very grown up teenager, pitched a seven inning shut-out last weekend!! He is playing 13U this fall and their games are seven innings. He had 87 pitches for the entire game...truly, he's my hero.
Jake Carey Wills, my very grown up TEN year old, is a force to be reckoned with on the soccer field. He spends one half of the game in goal...I'm sure that comes as no surprise...goalies need to be FEARLESS! Last weekend, he played goalie the first half of the game. It was tied 1-1 at halftime. With only a few minutes to spare, Jake scored the tying goal, saving us from one in the L column!! He has an amazing left foot and definitely gives the goalie a workout!
Last, but never least, Kate Anastasi Wills, my very grown up baby tried out for the Nutcraker at her dance studio. She had to choreograph a number and perform it in front of the three dance teachers at her studio. She, Payton and one of Payton's friends made up a dance the day of the auditions...Kate got a letter in the mail a few days later stating that she had won the part of Clara...the part she wanted!! We are so excited for Kate and her upcoming December performance!
Other big news in the Wills' household?
Robert and Kim are coming in December!!!
We cannot wait to have them here, love on them, and spend time together!!
Speaking of family we love...last weekend one of the McGee cousins got married, so we spent time with extended family...Aunt Cora and George were in town for a week from Texas and we always love hanging out with them...because they stay with my parents, we got to see them quite a bit...what a treat!! And then on Saturday, all five of us were invited to the wedding and it was such a fun time...my cousin John and his wife, Barb, also traveled in from out of town...if only we all lived closer...we have such a good time every time we're together! Because my mom is one of six, I have fifteen first cousins and there are LOTS of cousins in Connor, Jake and Kate's generation, so we all had a great time! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the evening...
...oh yeah...one more thing...forgot to mention the newest member of our family...
Bernie got his first bath...Wills' style...this past weekend...
'til next time...
