Labor Day weekend

Meredith and Jeremy came over for the holiday weekend. Evelyn recently got a ball for the background and she loves to chase after it.

After Evelyn went to bed, we played Exploding Kittens. A mostly just chance card game that involves avoiding explosive kittens. I'm not sure Penny approved.

Meredith and Jeremy also picked up doughnuts from Rise and Roll, reportedly the best doughnuts in Fort Wayne. Evelyn is enjoying what is affectionately referred to as Amish crack or a cinnamon sugar doughnut.

Sunday we went apple picking. It was a nice little orchard with only a few varieties available right now but close enough to our house that we may go back later in the fall.

With a little help, Evelyn made a good apple picker.

Lots and lots of apples! It was a fun morning but then we watched Purdue lose and we all were sad,

Today I made a dutch apple pie. Tomorrow I think I will make applesauce since it is one of Evelyn's favorite foods.

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.
