Ring Dance

Rosati's Ring Dance was this past weekend. It is the formal dance for Juniors. Jessi and her friend Lucy went together. They got ready at our house then went to Paronie's (a pizza place) for dinner. I think she had a pretty good time. She loved her dress!

Futsal

Devin's soccer team didn't play indoor soccer over the winter. They played Futsal instead. Futsal is played on a small court indoors. There are 4 players plus a goalie. There aren't walls like in indoor soccer. The ball is kicked in play if it goes out of bounds. It is a pretty quick game and I think it helped many of the boys with their foot skills. Devin's team played up a year (against 6th graders). I'm not exactly sure of their record but I think they won at least half of their games.

Kicking the ball in bounds. It is possible/legal to score from and inbounds kick. Devin never did but he was always close.

Devin's friend Collin also plays on the team. Collin is one of the goalies.

Jessi's Class Ring

It has been a long long time since I updated my blog. Lots of things have been going on but here is the latest. Last night Jessi received her class ring. At Rosati the rings are given out junior year during a mass followed by a short presentation. Jessi has really been looking forward to getting her ring. This Saturday, is the Ring Dance which is the formal dance the juniors attend instead of Prom. Jessi is also very excited about the upcoming dance. I'll take pictures and post them next week. Here are the pictures from last night.

Jessi receives her ring.


The girls also received flowers.

This picture is a little blurry because I was pretty far away and couldn't use a flash. From left to right are Marrissa, Jessi and Lucy. The girls were seated alphabetically and Jessi loves that her friends Marrissa and Lucy happen to be next to her in the alphabet. Lucy and Jessi are pretty much attached at the hip.


Not a great picture. Jessi LOVES her ring. It has her name, "Jessi" on one side and her graduation year "2010" on the other. It also has track on one side and softball on the other. Rosati is engraved around the stone.
