Geelan Update

Okay, it has been quite awhile since I have gotten anything posted. Rachel had her first slumber party for her birthday (9 years old, can you believe it?). She had the girls from her class over. They stayed up past midnight. I think they had a really good time. Marty said he knows why we only have one girl, I think the giggling gets to him...
Rachel has also been doing a basketball clinic. Today was the last session. She won a trophy for the most "hot shot" points out of the third graders. Hot shot consists of shooting from 5 designated spots for a certain time. You get 5 points if you shoot from all spots and then you get more points for every basket you make. We are very proud of her. She also played at two of the halftimes of the Emmetsburg boys games.

The kids also had a program at school. The catholic school does not put on a Christmas program, rather, they do a program for Catholic Schools week. This was Connor's first performance. He said he was nervous in front of all those people. That was funny coming from him, who never seems shy or nervous of anything.



NOt much else is new here. We are just looking forward to Spring.

Congrat's to Rachel on her "Hot-Shot" award - I'll have to tell Matt, he'll be impressed. Maybe she can teach him to shoot free throws! LOL! Thanks again for coming to the game, like I said, it really means a lot to Matt when family & friends go watch him play.
Tell Connor I wanna come see him perform on American Idol someday!
