Sorry, I'm here, reading when I can, but still riding the roller coaster of volleyball with my daughter.
In six weeks, we've been to tournaments in Milwaukee, Chicago, Cincinnati, Des Moines, Hermosa and back to Milwaukee for the Nationals.
It's been a blur of pack, travel and unpack.
Here's some pictures:

Then off to Hermosa Beach for the USA Volleyball High Performance tournament:

This weekend, the Nationals in Milwaukee, for the coldest end of July since 1984:
Em and Nina finished fifth out of 48 teams, beat by the first place finishers from Texas.
It's our lot in life to live in the Midwest and play a southern sport!
We have one more tournament in Chicago this weekend, and then it's time to brush off the sand until next season.
When the sand dust settles, I'll be back more often.

Busy, busy! And what great looking girls!
