White Boy Can Jump

What you are about to witness has not been edited or modified in any way. This was streaming video of a Kouts- Washington rivalry game. During the second quarter of play, both teams were changing leads like an Earnhardt- Waltrip Winston Cup Race. Until one player..... and one play..... changed the momentum for good. This comes from the region's(northwest Indiana and southeast Illinois) current rebounding leader(10.2 game), who averages a double-double, along with 1.7 blocks per game followed by 1.6 steals a game. Kouts ending up winning this game somewhere around 75-43. In this back-to-back dunkathon, the second dunk is provided by Kouts player Stephen Keller. Ladies and Gentlemen..... Dr. C, Air Conor, Conor the Stilt, Pistol C........ Conor VanDyke.

The Great White Dwight




Karen shared a link with me, so I thought I'd throw it on to Yous Kids. Looks like Conor, in addition to being an all-around nice human being, is another one of the elite athletes in the Van Fam Clan. Read the full article here.

To further prove that Conor's the man... he's a Packer's fan.

Packers Bears - oh my!

Let's all first agree that we refuse to let this divide us as a family...



Now that we've agreed on that, it is time for predictions. Throw up your best prognostication in the comments (reasons are a bonus) and may the best team and predictor win.

Xander Update

Xander just had his one month (and 5 day) check-up. When he came home from the hospital, he was 5 lbs 9 oz.

Well, the boy likes to eat... as of this morning, he's up to 8 lbs 8 oz. The nurses really didn't believe how well he was doing.
