March 2024

 I need to play MAJOR catch up with the blog. Work, school, and sports have dominated the last few months, and each day leaves little to no time to reflect on all our activities. Here is a quick rundown of March.

A new family member joined our chaos. Although it has been a difficult recovery from losing Rosie so unexpectedly, Jay encouraged us to open our hearts for a new puppy. Lucy is FULL of energy and puppy antics, but we are learning to love a new fur baby.

Gymnastics competition season was in full swing in March. Level 7 has proven to be a challenging year for Maggie with many ups and downs. Our girl did achieve the three scores of 36+ to qualify to train Level 8 this summer, but it took a major mental toil on her. I am extremely proud of her commitment and resilience. While Maggie was not thrilled with her state meet performance, she qualified for Regionals and was in the top 35 Level 7 gymnasts in the state of Georgia.

Baseball has been the highlight for both boys. Tuttle's Reds team has a 12-1-1 record. They are absolutely amazing to watch, and Tuttle has grown so much as a player. Tuttle was a little hesitant to sign up for baseball after such a packed practice schedule with football and wrestling, but Jay pushed him to use the season as a more relaxed commitment. Even though the boys have several 8pm-10pm games, I love every second of it!

Jacob has proven to be the MVP of his Mets team. As one of the more seasoned players, he has received the game ball four times, averages a home run each game, and has developed such a strong understanding of fielding and how to make strong plays. His team does not have the best record, but Jacob is having fun!

Jay and I have prioritized sneaking away for some fun, too. This included several GNO for me, but our favorite Friday night was spent with Anne and Matt in Atlanta!

March came in like a lion and stayed crazy until the end!
