I am going to add you to my list of prayer intentions, that your knee will feel fantastic during your travels! How wonderful that you get to go to KC for the soccer tournament. We lived there for 9 years (South KC, Olathe) and loved it. I hope the city is a great host and that you all enjoy your time there. You must eat some BBQ before you go home - Oklahoma Joe's is our favorite!Sole Searching Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791024176229050045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-16796999451540321652014-06-09T21:36:00.012-04:002014-06-09T21:36:00.012-04:00Congrats on your daughter and her team!

Glad to hear therapies are working. High FIVES to all the kids for the team spirit at home. Congrats on the soccer win and how it all came together. Cannot wait to hear more about your trip. It is tricky for those young teens to navigate boredom. Too old for toys, and imagination can be limited.
