Player of the month!!!

Hey ya'll! I cannot believe it's been almost a month and a half since my last blog! That's my bad! Sorry! Well I have an excuse for 2 of those weeks, we had company here in Belgium, which was awesome! Wes' dad and grandparents came out and we pretty much took them everywhere possible around Belgium as well as Paris! I think they really enjoyed Paris..it was a little cold but we survived! We got so many neat pictures and Grandma Pat even showed me how to make slideshows on DVD's so we spent a lot of time doing that! In basketball news we have a lot! Wes has been playing a lot more and very well since his old coach was fired from Spirou.. He has been voted Player of the Month for March for Spirou, averaging 13 points..and he has started the last 6 games! It is so crazy how much of a difference having a new coach makes, it's a 100% change and it's so nice to see that this new coach recognizes all the talent Wes has. Hopefully Spirou can play all the way through to the Championship...we'll have to wait and see! I think if they make it to the championship then there's a chance we might not make it back home till the first week of June, if they are out of the playoffs before that then we will be home earlier. Last week Wes was also in Be Basket magazine, which he says is kind of like Belgium's Sports Illustrated... a reporter and photographer came to our house and interviewed Wes and took pictures of the both of us, it was pretty funny...he had us do all sorts of poses and action shots..we'll make sure to show everyone when we get home. Wes also is in the process of signing a brand new 2 year contract with none other than CHARLEROI! If you would've asked Wes 2 months ago if he would ever play in Charleroi again he would've answered NO before you were done asking the question..but now Wes really likes his new coach and feels like he could help him go far..so as soon as everything is worked out with the contract, Wes will be signing...so if anyone would like to come visit "beautiful" Charleroi..just let us know! ;) Well that's all i have for now...hope everyone is doing good!! Miss you all and can't wait to get home to see everyone!!!
