Volleyball

 

Guess what? We had more volleyball this weekend. Lucy did great! She really is improving each game and made many points for her team. It was some close games - they lost one and won one.

Her biggest area for improvement is serving. She really wants to be able to overhand serve, but just hasn't figured it out yet. She is practicing though!

Proof of life from Heidi when I beg her to send pictures from the football game. ha. Homecoming is this weekend and it should be fun!

We are full swing into school, homework etc. Busy time for sure!

Weekend

 

Rizzo not wanting to get up from a nap...

I really hope this weather sticks around! It was a great fall week and weekend for sure. Heidi and Chris finished off the tree and no one got hurt and nothing was damaged. win-win. I also helped drag the pieces deep into the forest behind us, but now we just have a tree trunk that we will continue to cut further down until we can get the stump grinded down. It was a very entertaining process and glad it all went well. 

We had the back-to-school night at Heidi's school where you follow her schedule around. Kind of funny going when your kid is a senior and knows what to do, but Heidi dared us to go, so we went. Apparently, black pants and a jean jacket is the official uniform of moms now, so we had to take a photo against some lockers to remember it. I should have gone on a campaign to take a picture with every woman dressed the same. All joking aside, the teachers adore Heidi and it looks like Heidi is going to have a great year.

Random photo from Heidi... They are almost 2 years together - crazy!

We ended the weekend with a couple of Lucy's volleyball games. She is doing great! Her serves are improving and she really had some great passes etc. They won 1 game and lost the other, but overall - did great! 

Benson Boone - Start of School - Volleyball & a Tree???

We had a busy week! It started off with Lucy's birthday present and she went to her first full concert - Benson Boone - it was a show! I have a feeling Lucy now will be skewed on concerts as this set the bar very high. I knew very little about the artist prior to the show, but he sang amazingly, was flipping, jumping and running all over the stage, interacting with fans, flying over the crowd etc. It was a very fun, entertaining show and Lucy loved it! We went with the Belciks and had Nicholas and Lucy sat together and Jenn and I sat together just a couple rows up.

You can't go to your first concert and not get merch!

 This was his opening act - he could sing as well, but very mellow compared to the actual concert.

First concert in the books! The next day - Heidi had her official first day of school, complete with her kiddie backpack. She is a Senior!

On Thursday, it was finally Lucy's turn to start 7th grade!

On Sunday, we had another volleyball game for Lucy and they won! They did a great job and Lucy really was fun to watch. The confidence is growing and we are enjoying watching her play.

We also had our fantasy draft this weekend (I said it was busy!). We rolled some hot dogs and hung out with some friends. Of course the champ, Bryan, had to make an entrance as well :)

Football season is here!

One last item for the to do list was taking care of this tree. The roots are starting to affect our house and patio as well as it was growing into our house. It was time to start to get it down before we had to spend way too much money getting it down or damage to our house. 

Snuggle time

I came back from running errands to this... supposedly it is ok and we are tackling it again today. No damage to the house - the tree isn't quite taken care of yet... I'm putting on my patience pants and trusting Chris' plan with his plan...
