Purdue Football

We saw Purdue play (and lose badly) to Virginia Tech yesterday.  At least Evelyn wore the right jersey.


It a long day, but a really fun day too.  We asked a lot of Evelyn and she really stepped up and did great.  We first met up with some old friends from when I worked at the hospital in Lafayette.  Then we had lunch with Meredith and Jeremy before heading over to the stadium.  First though a stop at the Crew house.


Then another stop for Insomnia Cookies.  Evelyn says "Less pictures and more cookies!"


A quick picture with Neil Armstrong.


It was family day so there were a lot of different activities to check out before kick off.


We did get a few questions about why Evelyn was wearing a VT jersey when her parents were both in Purdue shirts.  It was fun sharing our "story" with people.


Evelyn did great during the game.  I walked around the concourse with her during the second quarter but otherwise she sat with us and watched the game. 


On our way out of town, Nate and I realized how close we were to Arni's.  How could we bring Evelyn to Lafayette for the first time and not stop for pizza?

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.
