Trying to figure out how to follow my kids' athletic standings is not easy! Tennis only does team standings with team win/loss records and a combined individual win/loss records. I can't seem to find a way to follow my particular tennis player. Track & Field is a breeze comparatively.
Stats I've found to date:
AHS JV Tennis:
3rd in Wesco North 3A with 6 wins, 4 losses
Haller MS JV Track & Field, Eli Weber:
Wed Apr 19:
Hurdles 110m - 39": 2nd place, PR 26.47h
Shot Put - 12lb: 1st place, PR 20.5
Discus - 1.6kg: 2nd place, PR 52.47
Wed Apr 26:
Shot Put - 12lb: 3rd place, PR 21' 9.5"
Discus - 1.6kg: 1st place, PR 62' 6"
As of today, Eli's North County League Standings are 3rd in Hurdles, 3rd in Shot Put, & 2nd in Discus. State Standings don't look quite so marvelous, but are still phenomenal. He's 71st in Hurdles, 64th in Shot Put, & 46th in Discus.
Love that I have kids doing some athletics! Each week seems to bring new PRs for both kids. Really can't ask for any better.

Goodnight, Abby
HANS: "Mom's in the bath & she's not clothed."
(This is obviously something everyone says when they open the bathroom door.)
ABBY: "Then why are you looking at her?...I was just coming to say goodnight!"

My Goofy Dog
Our neighbor, Nancy, has four little dogs. Three are around 14 years old and their many ailments keep them from proper walks. The baby, little Bella, is a yorkie chihuahua cross and her short little legs cannot keep up with Nancy's post-mail carrier walking desires. So Nancy takes our Harvey for miles long walks every morning. I have a free (albeit slightly nutty) dogwalker! This has been a fabulous arrangement since Harvey gets a great walk in every day and Nancy's antsy-ness is a little tempered.
This morning, Nancy didn't even have time to text me her regular "knock knock" before Harvey spotted her. He ran to the window near the door and gave a bark. Then he ran to me in the living room and arooo-ed a bunch before prancing excitedly back to the door. It was such a "My friend is here! She's really, really here!" Silly Harvey.

Abby Update & Then Some
Poor Abby. Her toe fractures (yes, more than one!) are serious enough to keep her on crutches for another couple of weeks. One fracture is right next to a growth plate. The doctor was kind enough to show me where the fractures are. I also liked seeing the as-yet-unfused growth plates. Still thinking the #1 girl has 3-5 inches left to grow. She's being very good about using her crutches since the doctor said if she's not, she could be looking at surgery. Hans has moved her out of her walking class since she can't walk right now and has gotten her into a photography class. Her first day in Photography had her searching the school for something from the 70s. Someone thought to ask the age of her father...so she sneakily took a picture of her father teaching through a classroom window. Made for a lot of giggles later at home since he hadn't noticed. We surprised her yesterday with a larger terrarium for Coriander that we found while garage sale-ing.
I enjoy living in the school district where we teach. Kids recognize me all over, even high schoolers, as the substitute and I love it. I called a couple of weeks ago to order a Papa Murphy's pizza for the family and when I said to put in under "Weber," the kid on the phone asks, "Are you Mr. Weber's wife?" That in itself is a funny question since "Mr. Weber" can be vague and any male with the last name Weber. I said yes, and the boy said, "You've subbed me a few times and I had Mr. Weber as a teacher!" I picked up the pizza instead of sending Hans like I intended because the kid said he'd see me in a bit. I even had more children saying "hi" to me as we garage sale-d yesterday than Hans did.
Hazel is a funny peanut. She's over-scheduled and seems to be loving it. She's still doing Girl Scouts (although we're going to slow down on it during soccer season) and dance, but she's added soccer to her busy-ness. Come October 3, we should be a little scrambled getting kids to games. Thankfully, she's not into being keeper. I don't know that I could handle another kid on goal. She came home last night from Ellie's and Baile's house with grey, white, and red makeup lines on her face and arams and yelling, "BRAINS!" Somebody was a funny little zombie. A zombie! What the heck? Hans asked her if she had a sister and she replied, "No, I don't have a sister. I just know a girl I can eat!"
We're working on finishing up Eli's closet. I've painted the closet the same blue as his room and am gearing up to start painting the downstairs this AM. Hans is going to hang the door and finish the closet rods and shelving today. I'm hoping to talk to Theresa tomorrow about the new appraisal. Still waiting on the house across the street to close to see how close to 415K they got. Our house should be valued high enough now for us to lose the PMI. :)

Life on Ambleside
It's my most favorite time of the year. School starts this week! Everyone is now in one school district! Tomorrow is Abby's first day of high school. Wednesday will be Eli's first day of middle school. Hazel starts 2nd grade then and has her first dance class of the new year.
I love the first days of school. Kids are excited and wake up on time. School supplies look all snazzy and sharp. My house will be quiet for a few hours. Poor Harvey will look at me sadly, then watch out the window for the kids to come home.
Too bad Abby broke her foot Saturday night while running up the stairs trying to surprise Eli. His room has been a construction site the last few days while Hans puts in a closet, making our home a 4-bedroom house. We're working on eliminating our PMI & maybe getting a refinance for a lower interest rate at the same time. Who knows if it will work. The house has to appraise for $55k more than we purchased it all to work out favorably, but with the house across the street (a 3-bed, 2.5 bath, 2700 sq. ft house) asking $415k, I think we look should be able to appraise for at least $340k.
I love our home. I enjoy driving to our house through the streets in our development. I like the sidewalks and the tidy yards and the quiet. I love that my kids have friends all over our development and can ride their bikes on sidewalks and trails and not be on any major roads ever. I still have painting yet to do, but enjoy the process. It's such a small improvement to make to a home and it makes such a visible difference quickly.
Just grateful.

She's almost 13!!!
Abby is unloading the dishwasher while Eli is getting himself a glass of ice water. Her eyes filling with tears, Abby asks that Eli not use a certain glass cup because it's the only one we have that "is perfect for making parfaits."
We talk about how *maybe* this isn't completely rational, but Eli, can you please not use that particular cup for water anymore? Everyone is allowed a few irrational quirks, right? THAT BOY says, "Like you liking this song?" (The song being this one.)
Stinker. Yes, exactly like that.
