All Kinds of Stuff

I made it back from Redmond. There was plenty of suspense and drama in the trip. Travel was the main culprit for both but the time at Microsoft was fun. There is so much to talk about it is hard to put it down in a blog.

Jessica had a track meet last week and got third in the long jump and 1st in the open 400. She ran 60.5 which was a new meet record so she was happy about that. The Sprint Medley team also got first and have a shot at getting to state. The competition is getting tight for spots on that team. The 100 runners are all competing for a spot and one of the girls who was on got bumped by a girl with a faster time. Plenty of drama in that one.

Her next track meet is Thursday in Des Moines.

Drew had a game this weekend. They lost but it was mostly because they played so poorly. The pitchers (Drew did not pitch this game) gave up 9 runs on only 4 hits. They walked around 12 or 13 kids. It was a shame because the team they beat is not that solid. May be a long season. Drew has his next game Thursday - Yes, the same day as Jessica's track meet. I am going to Drew's game this time.

I start back at work today. WHOO-HOOO!!! I have mixed emotions about it. One one hand I kind of want to get back and get some of the things done that I have on my list. On the other hand, being back to the same old grind is not a happy thought.

The weather was awesome this weekend and the kids played outside for much of it. The neighborhood is really great when it comes to having kids around and a bunch of things to do. There were about 12 kids running around the cul-de-sac this weekend. They all seemed to be having a great time.

I have some pictures of the trip to Redmond to post and a few stories about the travel as well. I will post them later this week.
