Soccer Games, Soccer Games

Saturday, April 24th

Today was soccer day, as Halle had pictures at 9:15, games at 10:00 and 11:00. Hayden had pictures at 12:15, game at 1:00. Drew ended up going early, the rest of us watched the first of Halle’s two games, though she did not want to play in the second. We stayed, however, till the end , went home for a quick lunch, then headed back to watch Hayden play. She showed more skill and aggressiveness, which is nice to see, though she needs to gain confidence and more skill, as do all of them. All the families were there, so it was fun to see them, though I did not see Eddie, just Stacy and Laurie and John. We relaxed in the afternoon; Jill and Drew went off to Costco, then out to dinner and we took the girls to Culvers, though Hayden felt sick, and Halle did not seem very peppy either. Hayden had gone to a swim birthday party, which may have been part of the reason she was not feeling well. When we got back, she felt better, and Drew and Jill were back. So we put the girls to bed, watched some tv, and went to head tired. I was not feeling that great, a bit nauseous though I slept well. A typical Saturday, it seems, of games and other kids activities. The wind has been wild the last few days, making it unattractive to walk outside, even stay outside long. It is a real factor in this part of the city, as they seem constant; if they lived closer to the mountains, in the city, I know it would be less of a problem. Here, out on the plains, the winds are just a constant, something you cannot get away from or ignore.
