Messiah and Ballet

My parents came in for the weekend for Evelyn's ballet recital but also so Nate and I could go on a date Friday night. I surprised Nate with two tickets to see the Fort Wayne Philharmonic perform Handel's Messiah. It was a wonderful performance. We went out for dinner beforehand and then went to the concert. I never really listened to the Messiah until I married Nate but it's one of his favorites to play at Christmas time.

Today was Evelyn's ballet recital. I think overall she has improved compared to last season in that she does better with knowing the different ballet positions and what to do with her arms. Her whole class did a great job with their recital piece.

Evelyn's ballet 1 class. There was a total of 7; one was still changing out of her jazz costume and the other girl had stage fright and never ended up performing. It was also nice to have a boy in the class.

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.
