Never Stop Training

 We may not be able to go to regular practices and trainings, but that doesn't stop the Diamond kids.  Carson has been MAKING 500 shots a day, videoing himself, and sending it to DJ for coaching feedback.  Kennedi does daily volleyball training virtually or on her own.  She has done a little sand practice at her coach's house too. Cade has been running in the neighborhood and playing catch outside every chance he gets.  Brent Holmes, our speed and agility coach, has been coming out to the house twice a week to train the kids and keep them in shape.  Two other families have joined the fun!  We have been grateful for his training sessions even when we can't go to the gym.  When this is all over, the Diamond kids will be ready to go!

April - A Month of Quarantine

 When life deals you lemons, you make lemonade.  COVID-19 has shut down the country.  Club volleyball has come to a close.  Basketball is limited to virtual training.  Little league baseball is on hold.  Without sports, our family schedule has changed DRASTICALLY.  As much as we miss all the practices and games, we have utilized the time to breathe and enjoy quality family time.  I guess God knows what you need sometimes.  It has really helped our family to remember our priorities.  We are cooking dinner every night and sitting at the table together.  The kids are riding bikes in the afternoons while Jason and I enjoy the front porch.  We play cornhole at night in the carport.  We have heated the pool so the kids could swim during the day.  We completed a 2000 piece puzzle and we occasionally run out for a Sonic run!  I'm ready for the chaotic life we love to return, but for right now I am loving the slower pace and time with the people I love most!
