The Convery Press

Convery Press Bracket Contest Ends — A Week Ahead of the Championship Game

Our participants have demonstrated incredible efficiency in completing the Convery Press 2011 March Madness Bracket Competition.  Though there are still two more rounds of play and the Championship game is more than a week away, we already have our winners.  It is rather sad that not a single member of group could foresee the upsets and have even one of their bracket hopes left intact as we enter the Final Four.  Maureen  will be receiving her $25.00 Applebee’s gift card for her (comparatively) outstanding prognostication.  I am upgrading 2nd place to a $20.00 Applebee’s Gift Card since mom will be in Florida until after the end of the St. William Lenten Fish Frys.  For his third place finish, Brian L. will recieve a family-style pasta dinner.

Final  Group Standings  are as follows:

Theisses were AWOL

Wondering where all our photos from February, March & April are???  The gallery wasn’t working, so I had to find another venue.  Here’s the link if you’ve missed seeing us!  http://cid-398091a3da9cd3f5.spaces.live.com/?lc=1033 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a quiet, yet filling, feast this afternoon.  Hope yours was great!

Soccer Champions!

Kathryn’s team played in the season-end tournament this weekend.  First game was at 10:30am and they won in convincing fashion 5-0.  The championship game began at 1pm.  It was a very one-sided game with Kathryn’s team up 2-0.  But a couple of mistakes allowed the other team to tie it up.  Kathryn’s team must have had 50 shots on goal… but nothing would get through!  They went into overtime – two of them!  It was down to a shoot-out.  (No pressure!)  After 5 players from each team, it was still tied.  It came down to a one to one shoot out.  Kathryn’s team scored a goal and their goalie stopped one!  YEAH!!  After 5 hours at the fields in 50 degree, windy, cloudy weather, they pulled it off!  We celebrated in the rec hall with a soccer cake (which Adam knocked over before the game ended) and cookies.   We really enjoyed watching her and her team play this season.  They are pretty impressive.  I’m sad that it’ll be another 4 months before we can watch them again. 

Check out our galleries!

I know!  Its been a while since I posted something!  Anyway, we’ve had a busy couple of months.  Gary’s parents came to visit and we took them all over.  We’ve had soccer every weekend.  And sometimes a swim meet afterwards.  Mom and dad were here for 2 weeks… although you won’t find many pictures of them.  Don’t know what happened there.  Rachael turned 9, which was loads of fun!  And here we are… almost Halloween!  I’ll be sure to add more pictures soon, but in the mean time, check out http://converyfamily.com/Gallery/Theiss

Theiss-ville update

Hey all!

How’s everything going? School is about to start for us. The kids go back on Tuesday. They are looking forward to it. They met their teachers on Thursday and are pretty excited. They started soccer last week and are going to be swimming again – starting Tuesday. Life will be busy once again! To add a little spice around here, we got a puppy this past Tuesday… didn’t want Adam to be bored once the girls are back in school! She’s a cutie. If you haven’t seen and heard all that we’ve been up to this summer, check out the pictures at http://converyfamily.com/Gallery/Theiss

Hope your summer was as much fun as ours! Can’t wait to hear what’s new in your neck of the woods.
Judy & Gary
