A new title for me...



I have taken on another hobby “COACHING.” Yes that’s right I am the head coach of Heritage Academy’s Junior High Girls Basketball team. I got a phone call about a month ago offering a position either JV or Junior High coaching I blew it off at first but the thought of being back in the basketball world quickly persuaded me to give it a “shot” (no pun intended!) So for the past few weeks I have been creating drills and plays and the one of the greatest parts is remembering the good old times. I love this sport and for the past 6 years life has taken me on a new and excited journey of marriage and motherhood. My old hobbies and passions sort of took a backseat, but I see now that I can do multiple things and still be an attentive wife and mother maybe even a better more happy one!!! I love basketball I love athletics the teamwork, the drive and aggressiveness I have surely missed it all. Granted I am only coaching junior high so its mostly fundamentals I am really having fun. Maybe I can start to see why coaching is so appealing to my husband. Another Coach Lensch in the family (but I go by Coach D).

That is great! Emily had fun with Brinley today. Thanks for letting her come and play today, Em is already asking if Brinley can come over again? We would love to have her another day.

How fun!! I'm not sure how you fit everything in and still have a polite, well-behaved and well-groomed 2 year old as well as an infant. I may have to take some lessons from you!!!
