Will, Connor, Rigley, Carter, Fallin
February 6 – Raine’s first home soccer game of the season. She ended up going off early because she got tackled from behind and scraped all the skin off her knee and butt.
February 9 – Raine’s soccer game in Bridgeport. Her team is so much better this year than last.
February 13 – Raine’s soccer game at Castleberry. It was such a close game but they ended up losing 2-1.
These two photos were in the school newsletter.
February 16 – Raine’s soccer game against Lake Worth. Regular time ended in a 0-0 tie and we won in penalty kicks. This is the varsity girls’ first district win ever! My cousin Angie Badger and her daughter Finley were in town for a gymnastics meet and they came to watch in the windy cold.
February 17 – first rec league game of the season, a scrimmage against the Tigers where we won 3-0. Carter had a game at the same time at a different location so I missed his game.
February 17 – Carter’s basketball team made it to the playoffs and won their first game. Carter put up 2 points, had a rebound, and a bunch of assists.
February 18 – Carter’s team went into the championship game as the underdogs but managed to end the game just one point behind. It was a tough loss, but they have improved a ton this season.
Raine and her friends had a Galentines party.
February 23 – Raine’s school soccer game.
Collegiate Academy Varsity Girls Soccer Team
January 4-6 Raine played in the Springtown soccer tournament. Her team actually won their first game EVER! Unfortunately, she was injured in the Saturday morning game and unable to play in the afternoon game for 3rd place and her team lost in penalty kicks.
January 8 – Carter’s school game
January 14 – Carter’s club game
January 15 – we got a little bit of snow so Carter and his friends decided to go sledding at the elementary school. It wasn’t enough snow to sled on more than one or two runs down the hill and on Carter’s last run, the sled stopped in the grass while Carter kept going. He broke his thumb on his left hand and sprained his wrist on his right hand. Looks like that may be the end of his basketball season.
January 19 – Daddy and I went to the Ft Worth Stock Show Rodeo
January 23 – Raine’s team handily beat Western Hills again (the same team they beat and then lost to in the tournament)

December 1-3
We went on Thursday instead of Friday because I got tickets to see the taping for the Late Show. Unfortunately, production was cancelled because Stephen Colbert’s appendix burst a few days prior. We were able to find some last-minute tickets to the Michael Jackson musical instead.

Christmas Market in Bryant Park
We took the subway down to Battery Park and as we were walking around, we found Dewey street.
Dinner with all our friends at Quality Meats
Rockefeller Square
Everyone else went to see Hadestown because we told them it was so good when we saw it last year. Since we had already seen it, we went to Kimberly Akimbo.
We met up with the Sweeney’s afterward for some cheesecake.
The next morning we walked around 5th Avenue until the Sweeneys called asking if we wanted to go to lunch at a Jewish Cafe. We ran into everyone else on our way.
11/1 Carter qualified to run at the regional cross country meet. He placed 39th with a time of 13:05 over the 2-mile course.

Carter hurt his tensor fasciae latae on 9/30 so he didn’t play in his game on 10/7. Raine’s game was cancelled because the team she was scheduled to play doesn’t have enough players to field a whole team and they are tired of losing 11-0.
10/14 the Tornados got kicked out of the league because the soccer association put girls on our team who were too old for the bracket we were placed in. All of our remaining games were cancelled and the games we had played were changed to a forfeiture. The Tigers played us in a friendly since they had a bye this week.
There was a partial solar eclipse during the game.
After soccer, Carter and I went to the BYU v TCU football game (it wasn’t pretty).
10/15 Daddy ran the Waco Ironman for the second time. We drove down that morning but just missed his transition off the bike. We were there to cheer him across the finish line at least.

9/9 Opening day of the regular season for both soccer and basketball (Carter’s soccer game was out of town and overlapped with Raine’s game so I wasn’t able to get photos of his)
9/16 I missed Carter’s game again because I signed up to referee games before I realized that I hadn’t put Carter’s games on my calendar yet.
