201 months old


We are getting into the last month of Britton's junior year! I can't believe how quickly this school year as flown by.  It feels like we were just getting back from Christmas vacation, then Spring Break, and now she's juggling AP exams and grad parties.  It's a hard milestone for me, knowing that soon enough Britton will be starting her senior year of high school.  Cue the crying because I will be a perimenopausal mess!  Britton is set to have 6 AP classes next year, with a "fun" class of ceramics thrown in for a creative outlet.  Her school cancelled AP French, so no language class next year, unfortunately.

Britton's softball banquet is this week (on Barrett's birthday!) and sadly, it will be her last as a player.  Under the new coach, the coaching staff is focused on rebuilding, and seniors don't really factor into that team.  As a senior, she'd be guaranteed a varsity spot, but she'd probably see little field time.  She plays first base, and the new coach prefers first base players that also play pitcher.  Britton was offered, and accepted, the team manager position for next year!  She still wants to be a part of the team, and in this way, she's not constantly disappointed with her position on the team.
