Yesterday

Evelyn and I did pretty much nothing yesterday.  Which I read is exactly what you are supposed to do with a newborn - nothing but feeding and snuggling (and changing diapers and outfits that have been spit-up on).  Which is fine except there's nothing to watch on TV but Will and Grace reruns and then nothing gets done around the house.

This is what I told Nate yesterday when he got home.  He assured me that nothing is supposed to get done, but when I was finished with my shower, I find him holding Evelyn with one arm and swiffering with the other.  He also had folded the laundry and washed the dishes.  Wow - I must take really long showers.  But really, it meant a lot that he would do all that housework after his busy day at work.


Wide awake


Sound asleep


Nate would be sad if I didn't post this picture.  Penny tolerates Evelyn very well.

Evelyn is adorable! However, that is not the expression of a happy cat; Penny's eyes, ears, and whiskers say it all. : / Hang in there, Penny. Soon Evelyn will be your best friend and cuddle buddy.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
