Busy week

 This is probably is the busiest week of our whole summer. VBS started Sunday night. I’m a leader for a group of 6 year old, incoming first graders.  It’s been a fun 4 nights and my group of kids were great but I’m also glad tonight is the last night. And it’s family night so I’m only in charge of my own kids.  


So VBS run 6-830 in the evenings with us arriving a little early to be in place before all the kids get there. In the morning from 9-1, Evelyn and Jameson are at Mastodon basketball camp at Purdue Fort Wayne. It’s a lot; we are all tired. They both seem to be enjoying camp. It is run by the mens’ basketball head coach and several players from both the mens and womens team. It is more competitive than any sport activity they have done which I also think has been a little challenging.



Evelyn is with the 3rd-5th graders so she is one of the younger kids and campers aren’t separated by gender.  That isn’t a bad thing, but the play is a little more aggressive than what she is used to. She told me today she doesn’t want to do the camp next summer and she doesn’t want to try out for the basketball team at school, but if church does Upward again she does want to do that. Even Jameson said yesterday he had kind of a difficult time, but he still wanted to go to the last day of camp. So I’m proud of both of them for sticking with something even if they didn’t love every minute. Evelyn did earn camper of the day on Tuesday and came home with a practice jersey. It’s huge!

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.
