A Week of Traveling

Lucy had a wonderful week in Washington DC. What did she all see? She doesn't know :) I know she the saw the typical big things on the trip. I'm not sure what she saw either as the itinerary was flexible, but she still had a blast. Now she can give you a play-by-play of who was mad at who, who got in trouble and which teacher was mad at what moment. Just in case you were wondering :) :) :)

Heidi headed back to school on Tuesday and Rizzo was looking for her the entire time. He would not lay down and chill but walk back and forth between the two doors - hoping she would appear again. He won't see her again until after Thanksgiving!

This week was funny! All 4 of us were in different locations! 

At one point - the dogs went and got groomed and I was home alone for a few hours - it was weird! 

Lucy got back late Wednesday night - ready to sleep in her own bed and she also had the rest of the week off from school.

We are taking care of our neighbors house and sweet dog Cooper this weekend too. 

We tried to have a fire pit and watch some sports outside...but the weather had other plans. We got all set up, fire going, started a movie to fill the time before volleyball started, and THEN the storm moved in. It was one of those: 

Me: "Chris, are you sure we aren't getting bad weather? The clouds say otherwise"

Chris looks again: "Oh crap...um, we have about 10 minutes before it storms" 

**Facepalm** 

We were able to get everything back inside and we were bummed, but at least we got to enjoy it for a little bit :) 

Still a lovely night. Then the next day, Chris needed to try out his new toy. He got a smaller Blackstone for the tailgate next weekend at BG for Heidi. We tried making smash burgers and they were EXCELLENT! Next weekend for parents weekend will be fun! 

Chris was in North Carolina all weekend for work, including playing a couple rounds at Pinehurst. 

One final random shot from Lucy.

This week is regular work, school, volleyball etc and we head off this weekend for the BG parent's weekend. It should be fun! 

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.
