day in the life

Thought we'd share a glimpse into a day in the life, week in the life of the Loudamericans.  We've been on a bit of a "break" between chef school and basketball but no more, its full steam ahead on summer sports and activities!

  • 4:45-5:30 TDK for you know who's younger brother
  • 6:30-8:30 Football practice for you know who's older brother UNLESS he has a baseball game (at either 6:30 or 8:30) at which point we do a little juggling act
Wednesday

Friday

  • 6:15-7:00 TKD
Saturday
  • 10-12 Football  2-3:30 Baseball 4-4:30  Drums - can you guess who this is? 
  •  1:30-4 - TKD, Olympic training for competitions
Sunday - it stars all over again...
 
We DO have dinner together every night but now you can see why 8:45pm is our preferred dinner hour.  On top of this, we do try to see friends, neighbors and luckily have friends in the same situation so casual get to togethers at peoples houses are the norm.
 
In light of all this, when you ask us what we've been up to and we say we've been busy but then cant describe a single thing we've actually done or accomplished (other than racking up miles on the cars), you know why. Its a busy fun crazy life and I don't see it changing for another 8-10 years AND, I wouldn't have it any other way. How lucky are we that we can afford these activities,  from an in interest, health, financial and availability perspective?!. We are blessed!
