Tanner played his guts out this saturday in a double header which ended in two defeats. Playing in the 7-8th grade league it is amazing how some players are still boys and others.....men. Tanner had two great games and always gives it his all until the last second. He is a great leader on the court and as pointguard shows his natural ability and talent. It was so much fun to watch. Ben loved watching the games and yelled "THIS" "BALL" reaching to try and get some of the action on the court.

Now to explain the glasses. Ever since Grace was young she has loved the story about my imaginary friend DEEDEE. As a kid, I supposedly, had an imaginary friend named DEEDEE who would always be around and was described as looking exactly like me, but with glasses. So every once in a while Grace decides to go out as DEEDEE and wears clear frame glasses. During our time at the basketball game she put them on Ben and he loved it. In fact, he wore them for a good 10 minutes while the girls laughed and Ben played along. Eva thought it was hilarious and kept putting them on him.

GRACE UPDATE- Grace had a checkup the beginning of this month and is doing well. Her numbers were high due to the fact that she is fighting an illness. Since this can mask her Platelet disorder, we will have to wait a few more months before doctors are confident that her ITP disorder is gone. That having been said, her surgery to remove her port is delayed as well until we are sure her blood levels are normal and her platelet disorder is gone. She has been really trying to get to school, but many days she just does not feel well. She has spent a lot of time on her bed or in ours reading or resting because she is so wiped out.
