Happy birthday

 Evelyn is 9! There was no school today which was disappointing for Evelyn.  She wanted to see her friends.  But she did bring a class treat to share yesterday and got to bring treats to basketball practice today.  Evelyn chose donuts for her birthday breakfast. 


She opened a few presents in the morning. Two new books from Jameson and some fun new socks from the Hilldores.


I had Bible study at 9 and Evelyn had basketball practice at 10, but thankfully Oma and Grandpa were here to help with transportation. In the afternoon I made a chocolate cake and we played a game with Oma and made a craft with Grandpa. Nate came home and Evelyn opened a few more presents. Jameson also got his sister a new basketball.  Evelyn (and Jameson) got a new Purdue shirt to wear next weekend when we go see a women’s basketball game, Evelyn’s gift from Nate and I.



Evelyn wanted Steak ‘n Shake for dinner but it was closed for in person dining. So we ended up at Applebee’s which was a good choice - Evelyn still got her hamburger. And we were done just in time for church. We finished the night with a zoom and finally the chocolate cake.

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.
