Alexandra had a soccer tournament in Cincinnati the weekend before spring break. It was decided that just Rich would go since big sister didn't want little brother to attend. As much as I would like to have gone and hate to miss any of my kids' games, the time Rich was able to spend with his youngest daughter was invaluable. As a family we don't like to be split up too often, but when the opportunity comes along to spend some quality time one on one with your child, you can't refuse.
Fortunately, her first game didn't start until 11:25 a.m., so the hotel room for Friday night was canceled and they left early Saturday morning. Her team won the first game, lost the second game, and then lost the 8:00 a.m. game on Sunday morning. Sunday's game was cold and rainy which lent itself okay to a loss. Although cold, wet, and tired, they got in the car and drove straight to our 11:00 church service. Now I call that - dedication!
