Katie

Every now and then, I'll have a couple of items that I need to pick up at Wegman's for Julia which is much more conveniently located near where I live. Katie's lacrosse training had been canceled (which was rather sad because it was an absolutely gorgeous day in the 70s after the deep freeze of the week before!) so we're off to Wegman's after collecting the kids from school. Katie's rocking a NC State Wolfpack…

Obviously the person who thought *THAT* was a wonderful idea was not the one driving Katie to her first Enloe Charity Ball in downtown Raleigh! The Charity Ball is an annual student-led event that raises fantastic sums of money for their cause celebre (this year it is Alliance Medical Ministry) with the goal being a $175,000 donation. And don't put it past them to blow past that goal...one year had them raise over $200K! Anywho,…

The time has finally come for Katie to do the behind-the-wheel part of her driver's education training on her way to getting her learner's permit. I remember being quite nervous when Nicholas did his behind-the-wheel training but that was mainly down to him being a) a BOY and b) prone to squirrel moments. Fortunately, Katie is neither of those but seeing her getting behind the wheel is still a bit nerve-wracking but it's much more…

Mistletoe and Katie are playing with a long lost tennis ball that was under the TV cabinet and Mistletoe is making sure in no uncertain terms just who that tennis ball belongs to! Let the attack begin! :)

I don't get very many opportunities to mess with Katie's mind but this was one that I absolutely was not going to miss under any circumstances! There was a works outing for Julia the following afternoon and whilst figuring out the logistics of meeting up and transferring kids, it became apparent that there really wasn't any particular upside to having the kids stay the entire day at school with the year winding down. So we…

It's hard to believe but tonight is Enloe's final game of the women's lacrosse season at the Sanderson HS neutral site. Enloe welcomed back a couple of scorers who missed the previous game against Broughton and that immediately paid dividends with the lead 14 seconds into the first half. The Pride answered back with a vengeance soon afterward but Enloe would put a couple more past their keeper and put the finishing touches on their…

Enloe makes another trip downtown with tonight's fixture being an away game against the Broughton HS Capitals on their Senior Night. Yeah, the parking still stinks (ended up in the same spot hell and gone from the stadium we got the last time!) and the temperature was turned up to BROIL and sitting on metal stands didn't exactly help! They had a real cool tradition where the senior girl would be introduced and walk onto…

Katie played her second game in as many days with Enloe taking on Sanderson at the Cardinal Gibbons neutral site just across from PNC Arena. I was worried that we might have a repeat of the fiasco that was our first visit when a Hurricanes game was going on at the same time and the traffic nightmare that ensued but fortunately that game against Winnipeg is tomorrow night! The Enloe girls joke that they're a…

The Eagles take to the field after Spring Break and face the Athens Drive Jaguars at home in the friendly confines of Len Bauer Memorial Stadium. This was originally supposed to be played the day before but the rains in the morning and early afternoon moved on before the face off but the field would have been unplayable at best. Katie returned to her usual position on defence and I'm sure she was more than…
