Washington DC + A Heidi Visit

It is finally time for Lucy's Washington DC trip with her class. She is beyond excited. We dropped her off at 6am this morning and there was a LOT of energy from the class. Good or bad (not decided) - Lucy's class is small enough for everyone to sit on one bus but it was PACKED. We can't wait to hear all about it when she returns later this week. 

We also wrapped up her CYO volleyball - we had a fun practice with games and some prizes. Glad the season is over and open gyms already start for her club volleyball this week. Crazy!

Heidi had fall break and came home -mainly to recover. She is battling a cold, which after talking with several other parents - seems to be a common case. Urgent care ruled out anything too bad and it seems to be just a common cold that needs to run its path. Heidi has been resting and Rizzo doesn't stray too far from her side. He loves that she is here. 

I think she needed lots of rest :) She heads back Tuesday evening and then we won't see her to parent's weekend. She also said she hasn't watched any movies since going to college - so we have been watching lot and lots of movies this weekend. 

 Chris is also traveling this week - so it is a weird week of people coming and going for sure! 

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!
