Michigan

Pictures from our weekend trip to Michigan.  We had kinda hoped that maybe there would be some snow, especially at the cottage.  But instead we had warm, sunny weather which was nice in its own way.


After a long car ride, a nice walk around the lake was much appreciated.  Evelyn brought her camera to take some pictures.


At some point, Evelyn and Jameson decided walking and pulling the wagon was more fun than being pulled in the wagon.


The weather was beautiful again on Sunday which meant more outside fun.


Evelyn helped pick up sticks to burn and afterward they got to toast marshmallows.


Monday morning after saying goodbye to Pat and Paul, we made our way to Hope's campus where we saw Grandpa Paul again in his office.


Then we caught up with Nate's adviser Dr. Witvliet.  Evelyn and Jameson thought she was great, especially since she played along when they introduced themselves as Skippyjon Jones and Monkey.


Dr. Witvliet was also kind enough to take a family picture by the anchor.


After lunch with Amanda and Joshua, we drove back home.  After unpacking and dinner we finished the evening by decorating our new to us Christmas tree.

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.
