before March break it was a week of bliss for Jeff. time off work to travel to first, the Ontario Winter Games with Hannah, and then, OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) with Joelle and Hannah. he made it back just in time to unload the van, re-pack the van for Florida, catch a few hours sleep and hit the road again. he loved it all~ but for those that know him well, that's a no-brainer...
i hated missing these two big events, yet much carried on here while they were gone with the five of us that stayed behind. i was sooo happy for matches on video, pictures and texted updates. kept me going. proud of my two for even showing up. these two tournaments are big, surely nerve-rattling, and physically draining. they wrestled with character and strength.
Hannah with other Sarnia Winter Games competitors below...they connected, made fun memories, and loved the hotel lifestyle a whole bunch. making your own bed at home isn't nearly as glamorous...plus the in-room coffee maker was put to good use too, i'm quite sure. knowing Hannah.
great team support with a strong podium finish for a friend of Joelle's~ she clinched a silver medal for all of Ontario to finish off her highschool career!
so funny, because ten years ago i wouldn't have believed i'd have two daughters in the above photo, for wrestling....hockey, maybe, but wrestling stills surprises me... :) if wrestling had been an option when i was in highschool, i think i'd have gone for it like they have. fun to see them experiencing it.
