Caelin's 8th Grade Track Season

Caelin wrapped up another great track season at Tomball Junior High School with the District Finals today! She worked hard, competed in every meet, and gave everything she had in each event. Along the way, she got banged up a few times...including one memorable moment sliding into the high jump standard and hurting her lower back.  Regardless, she kept pushing through and competing. This season, Caelin participated in the 4x200 relay, high jump, mile, and 800m.  She earned several ribbons throughout the year. One of the biggest highlights was qualifying for district in both the high jump (4'6" best) and the mile (6:11 min best)! More than anything, it was fun watching her compete, improve her consistency, and spend time with such a great group of girls. A huge thank you to all the coaches at Tomball Junior High School who have invested in and encouraged Caelin over the past two years.  We are looking forward to her transition to the High School next year for XC and Track.  

Daddy

March 3, the day my life took a major pivot 11 years ago. Not a day goes by that I do not think of my Daddy. He truly was one of the most incredible humans. He took care of others like no one else I have ever met. Family and neighbors knew to call him first for help or advice. My friends all knew him as a second Dad. Every person he walked by got a smile. I never doubted that he would answer the phone. He had all the answers, whether it was good or bad. He was selfless in all situations and made a positive impact to those far beyond what we will ever know. While I may have many tears, I smile knowing I was blessed to have THE BEST Daddy love and hugs for 34 years. I love you and miss you Daddy! 

Tomball Superintendent 5K

Grampee, Caelin, and Charles took on the Tomball ISD Superintendent’s Fun Run 5K again this year! Gamee acted as cheerleader and photographer.  Everyone had different goals.  Grampee and Caelin wanted to place in their age groups, while Charles was just hoping to finish the race alive and upright. Caelin had a great run, finishing in 25:03 and earning 2nd place in her age group. Grampee finished in 26:58 and took 3rd in his division. Both earned medals and were recognized on stage in front of the crowd. And Charles? He did, in fact, finish the race, which honestly felt like its own award.
