Tonight we played at home against Tipton. Both the girls and the boys won. I have FINALLY figured out the appropriate setting on my camera for better "gym" pictures. Trouble is, I have to run all of them through an editing program to get them lighter, because they all start out really dark. Kind of time consuming, but worth it. This setting takes all the blur out. This budding photographer is living and learning on a daily basis.

Thomas' heel started really hurting during the game tonight. Darn tendonitis. He didn't play much of the second half and was really hurting at the end of the game. We put ice on it and he took Advil before he went to bed.

The tree is up, the lights are on the shrubbery outside and we are in the Christmas spirit at the Blanchard house. I even have most of my shopping done, which even I can't believe. I got it all wrapped yesterday, too, so I feel like I'm WAY ahead of the game.
