Susquehanna Basketball Camp

As many of you already know, I am the Junior High Girls Basketball coach at IVMS. I took last year off from coaching to be at home with Payton. I had a great opportunity to get back into it when Roger Herto was hired back as the Head Coach. Many of you wonder why I give up so much of my time to coach. Coaching is part of who I am.

This week we are at Susquehanna Basketball Camp. It is sort-of bitter sweet for me...

On one hand, I get to be with my team and learn all about them. But, on the other hand, I have to be away from my girls. Emma is going through attachment issues. She wants to be with me ALL the time! So this will be a test for her, and a break for me.

I left the girls in the hands of their Daddy Sunday afternoon. They went swimming and had lots of fun! Monday the girls got to go to DelGrosso's Amusement Park with their Grammy and Pappy Frank. From the pictures I've seen, they didn't miss me much. (I'll post the pictures after Grammy sends them to me.) Luckily, I was able to come home Monday evening to check in on the family. I also came home to coach the JV team at the Y. I am going back to Susquehanna this afternoon. I will be staying down there with the team until tomorrow, when we all come home. (Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the team to show off!) Again, since Daddy has to work, the girls will be staying with their Nana tonight. Surprisingly, Emma is excited! She said she misses her Nana. I will be home Wednesday around lunch time to pick them up. Emma already has plans for us on Thursday.

So far, this little experiment is going well. Emma, Payton, Jason, and I are so lucky to have Grandparents/Parents that are always there for us. No matter what I need, I know that I can call my mom or Jason's mom, Jane. I wouldn't want to leave out my Dad either. He has helped so many times with watching the girls for me.

Well... I have to start packing Emma and Payton's bags for a night at Nana's!
