No more strep! (Hopefully)

A few weeks ago TJ had his tonsils removed.  He had gotten strep throat 6 times in the last year, and it seems as though his tonsils we a magnet for the bacteria.  It wasn't a fun experience, but he sure did enjoy the popsicles and ice cream!  We're just glad that he's feeling better after waking up in the night a few times with his throat hurting.  Hopefully we've kicked strep for good!

TJ's and Chess!

This past school year, TJ has joined the chess club.  So far he's done really well, and I go volunteer every Thursday with the rest of the club.  A few weeks ago he played in a non-rated Chess tournament.  He played five games with 1 win and a stalemate.  He did a great job considering all of his opponents were older and more experienced than him!  Although I'm more concerned about him having fun than winning, it sure is a nerve-wracking experience watching him play!

We look forward to state championships in a few weeks :-)
