    We’re coming home!

    It looks like we will be home Sunday evening. We hope to relax for about 10 days before making our whirlwind U.S. tour. There is a lot to do here before we go! Too much stuff…too few bags!

    Ultrasound No. 1

    I am sorry to say that my scanner in France will be unable to produce a picture from the ultrasound. Rather than giving me a nice print out, like they would in the U.S., the pictures are of similar style to an x-ray or maybe an MRI. I will try again when we are back [...]

    We’ve taken a wrong turn…

    The driver apparently got lost, because we have hit a dead end. In other words, the BCM lost last night. The good news is that we get to go back to the US for a while! We miss Ginger (our dog) dearly, and I am looking forward to some time fishing with my family.
    Edit: Here [...]

    First ultrasound

    We had the first ultrasound of the baby today. Unfortunately, Kevin is in Strasbourg, so he could not attend, but I did take a friend with me. When I got there though, the ultrasound doctor spoke great English, so she did not have to translate. The doctor says the fetus looks good…two arms, two legs, [...]

    Road to Bercy includes a loss…

    Well, I can’t even say it was close. The BCM lost 99-68 at Strasbourg, but even worse, we lost another player. Saulius Kuzminskas may have suffered some knee ligament damange in last night’s game, and he is probably finished for the season. We also played without Rahshon Turner, who was injured in the game Tuesday [...]

    Bercy or Bust: A Victory Over Strasbourg

    In the first game of the second round, Gravelines won at home against Strasbourg, 70-61. The defense by BCM down the stretch was key to defeating last year’s French Play-off Champions. Now Gravelines must go on the road and steal a game in order to move on to the next round. Like the last round, [...]

    So are the "Days of Our Lives"

    We certainly cannot say that our life is boring. Yesterday the local paper, Voix du Nord, printed some false statements about Kevin, saying he is not really injured. The team doctor, who has not even looked at Kevin’s knee, was in the paper saying that Kevin is cleared to play and basically there is nothing [...]

    Update on Kevin’s knee

    Well, Kevin tested out his knee again today, and he reports that it is improving. It still is not good enough for him to play, but in one more week, he thinks he will be good to go. There is a possibility that he might be ready sooner, but he doesn’t think it will be [...]

    In the first play-off game of the series, BCM came away with an overtime victory! The final score was 86-85. Cross your fingers for a win Thursday, which will secure our advancement in to the next round.
    Kevin tested his knee today and found that after a little while his knee loosened up and as [...]
