A little bit of everything...

This week was packed full of all sorts of things. I had my company all-hands, which basically means, all remote worker gremlins get to be in the office for a few days during the week for strategy, training, and overall bonding. It is always nice to see everyone in person and we make it as fun as possible, but not a lot of actual work was completed!

Lucy also shadowed at St. Joes for high school and though it was very nice, she wasn't 100% sold on going to an all-girls high school. She has one more shadow this week and then it comes to decision time, plus the test is soon!

We had beyond perfect weather this weekend, which meant we had to do a fire pit at least one night. Saturday was filled with Husker sports, so it was perfect. It was just our family, hanging out, enjoying the good sports, some snacks and a great fire. 

Random picture of Rizzo. When I head into the office, the dogs don't know what to do and many times put themselves in a kennel. 

Some movies were watched between games - Lucy called this movie boring. ha.

Sunday we had our very last CYO game. The girls fought hard, and went to 3 very close sets, but ended up not winning. Overall, they played well, but also, I think all of us are ready for the season to be done. Just a wrap party left and CYO is coming to a close!

Heidi had a blast during the Homecoming weekend at BG. 

And one random group shot from work. We were missing quite a few people, but we got the majority. 

 

A Heidi sighting & volleyball

We were lucky enough for Heidi to stop in overnight on Friday. She had to get a new bank card, drop off some not needed items and pick up some missing ones. We took advantage of this quick stop and all hang out. 

The dogs went nuts when she came home and Rizzo was very excited. He wouldn't leave her side. 

She requested Fiesta!

Rizzo was obsessed. That night he ran SO fast to get in bed with Heidi and was once again SO confused the next night. 

After some quick sushi - we was off again back to school. Though it was just a brief overnight, it was still great to see Heidi. She is doing REALLY well. She has found a great group of friends, classes are going well and she is loving it. 

On Sunday we had some more volleyball for Lucy. She stepped in as setter and did a decent job. The team only has one or two more games before this season is over. 

Chris stepping up to do line judging...though he might have called a ball out that was totally in. ha.

Rizzo was not thrilled to be missing Heidi. 

 Another great weekend complete. This week is busy, of course, but hopefully it flies by! 

Just the Weekend...

It was a normal weekend for us. Some errands, some volleyball, watched sports, and just relaxed. Heidi sent us some photos from school, well those of her nighttime activities. ha. She is doing really well. She loves her classes, has figured out her schedule and when to study etc and then also making lots of friends too. We are so happy she is loving college and settling in. 

This week was back to school, where we met all the teachers and the school reminds us of all the rules and processes for things. We have figured out that this is our 14th year at this school and we mainly went to it to show support and hang out with the other parents. For the students that have been at the school for the entire time, they had their old Kindergarten random picture up, which was adorable!

Saturday, Lucy had to use her Target gift card from her birthday (thanks Uncle Bob & Aunt Lauren) and bought some more fun things as well as we decided to all get a lego set to complete. On a funny note, Lucy and I stayed together shopping while Chris ran to another part of the store to get what he wanted. I guess he proceeded to make a couple laps of the store trying to find us, so much that a Target worker asked is he needed help. hahahahaha. Yes - we all had our phones on us and he just didn't try calling or texting yet. They all had a good laugh once I claimed him again in the aisle. He was disapppinted in himself for not playing into it more and getting them to make an annoucement about a lost adult. I would have killed him. 

For Lego, I bought the cute Lotso Hugging Bear, Lucy got this great Tree/Flower set and Chris got the car from Back to the Future, the Delorean. 

Rizzo helping me sort laundry. 

Reminder Chris being excited about the pottery he painted? Well, I finally picked it up and he was even more excited. The worker remembered Chris when she picked up the little smore and goes: "Oh yeah, I remember you guys, he was REALLY proud of this" hahahahahaha

We ended our weekend with a little CYO volleyball. The team played...hot and cold. Lucy did well but sometimes its really hard to motivate an 8th grade team through it. We have a few players, like Lucy who want to play, keep their energy up, chase after the ball, lots of saves, play scrappy if needed, yes make mistakes, but WANT to do better and try hard... theeeeennnn we have a group of 8th graders that could not be motivated by anything and their attitude is poopy. Their feet might actually be glued to the floor. Lucy is still having fun and learning. I'm going to try to make these last few weeks of CYO volleyball fun and hope we end on a high note!
