Overdue

 I forgot I promised a picture of Amelia heading to her dance....better late than never...plus, she's still just as beautiful as when I promised it...

Shooting Stars

Move over Dell and Steph Curry, Charlotte has another father/son duo looking to take home the crown as the Queen City's sharpest shooters...

What's that?  Dell, Steph, and Seth Curry are all in the top 40 in NBA history in 3-point shooting percentage?  The Currys have combined for roughly 6,000 more NBA 3-pointers than me and Ev? Yada Yada Yada. Well, Ev and I have never missed a single NBA 3-pointer. Not one!  Do we look like we're scared? Also, we're sorta betting NBA superstars who live across the country aren't going to make the trip to sneak into the 10-12 year-old boys division of the Yes I Can Shootout.  So, we have that going for us. 

Dance

 Amelia went to her first middle school dance this weekend.  I don't have any gossip from the inside as they didn't need any chaperones and Everett was unable to sneak in even though I drew a moustache on him to make him look older.  So, you'll have to settle for a pre-dance picture .... on second thought, I wasn't home to take a pre-dance picture, so you'll have to settle for a picture of Olive until I break into Meggan's phone and get one...

Hey, you could do a lot worse than a picture of this sweet girl...

Drawn

 While we're on the topic of drawings, here's Amelia's latest work...

... yeah, she's good. 

Well

With the help of Gatorade, rest, and prayers, I am almost completely back from my bout with COVID.  That said, with well-wishes like this one Ev made for me, I really had little choice but to get well soon...

For those of you wondering - behind this drawing were coupons for free back rubs when I get well.  On an unrelated note, I'm not sure why crayon Amelia is so angry in this drawing...

Message

 The video below will explain how my week has been.  

turns out having a great friend set up a Cameo video from one of your favorite former Gator/NBA players is the best medicine...you know, other than vaccines, boosters, Tylenol, cough syrup, and any other actual medicines.  

Notes

This e-mail came from one of Amelia's teachers who is a medical doctor stepping in to teach her science class....

"Hi Amelia's parents,

 

I wanted to take a second to share that Amelia is a joy to have in science class -- she is bright, conscientious, kind, attentive, and inquisitive.  Take a bow, because you're doing a job as parents!"

....I mean, we already knew she was awesome, but it is nice to have it cosigned by someone else.
