Happy birthday

 Jameson is 7! It was a somewhat crazy day. Evelyn did not feel well starting last night so she stayed home from school. Jameson asked for bagels for breakfast as nice change from his usual coffee cake. 


We were only able to open a few presents in the morning since Nate needed to be in Marion. Jameson understood and wasn’t upset that he would have to wait till after church to open the rest. 


Evelyn got Jameson a new football plus a Lego set and some football trading cards. Nate found him some GI Joe army men. 


When the ibuprofen was working, Evelyn had fun with the figurines too. 


Jameson asked for pizza for dinner so we tried carry out from new restaurant and it was really good. Nate came home and I left for church since I was in the nursery. Finally, I got home and while on zoom with my family Jameson opened his presents.


His last request - a chocolate Texas sheet cake. I got Mimi’s recipe, which was Granny Heinz’s recipe, and it turned out delicious. Super chocolatey, goes great with a big glass of milk.

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.
