Double Teamed
The Lakeland Cougars ended their season SMILING with a tournament victory. Sarah ended her season with 14 of the 20 winning points --- to counter the frustration of being double-teamed in the first game of the tournament.
Last week was the end of Rachel's basketball season. She also got "double-teamed." She was the only 4th grader on the A Team, and only got to play part-time on the B Team, so she spent more time on the bench than if she had just been on the B Team. Nonetheless, our little A- / B+ team-member never complained and always played with gusto.
At the awards ceremony last week, Rachel received the "Best Attitude Award."
We're just a liitle proud.

Magnificent
Buying gifts for parents is kind of like buying clothes for a teenager. I think they are tied for #1 on the List of Nearly Impossible Things To Do.
Time together, however, is a priceless gift that is easy to lose in today's hectic race from one "obligation" to another.
Hence, it was our pleasure (all 8 of us) to host a Ten Grand weekend for Mom and Dad on Chicagos's Magnificent Mile.
We don't really have any photographic memories of the weekend (No photos allowed at The Blue Man Group and too cold and windy to stop, much less take my hands out of my pockets for a photo on the Mag Mile), but Dad captured this from his hotel room overlooking Lake Michigan.
. . . and this should be the next ad for Westin's Heavenly Beds.

Our Little Town
Last week CBS featured Warsaw on The Early Show. Of course it doesn't begin to capture the real character of our community, but it's still nice PR.

On the air
This week was Catholic Schools week at Sacred Heart. It's a week full of special activites that highlight and promote the virtues of Catholic education. It's also a week of fun stuff for the students and teachers to help fight the winter blues.
Each student was asked to write something about Sacred Heart that is special or important. Two students from each class were then chosen, based on what they had written, to go down to one of our local radio stations, (WRSW, 107.3) and record their "blurb" that was then broadcast all week long to advertise for Catholic schools and Sacred Heart.
In case you weren't tuned in, this is what Rachel had to say: " At Sacred Heart, even though I am not Catholic, I feel accepted for who I am."
This is Dr. J on "parent day" with Chef Kensea.
