Weekend Notes: School Visits and Tennis
A pretty boring weekend around our house. I wrapped up Stranger Things. M went to a concert. But other than that the weekend proper was pretty low key for our family. We had great weather so we spent a lot of time just hanging out around the pool or on the back porch. College Visits Thursday M and I took…
Weekend Notes
A lighter weekend around our house. No basketball for L’s team, which was good as she was still recovering from her injury. She’s much better and is headed back to practice tonight. She should be good-to-go for this weekend, although the tournament they were scheduled to play in got cancelled so she may get another weekend off if the coach…
Weekend Notes: Prom and Sports
Prom We survived our first prom weekend with pretty much zero drama. Well, I should say prom night was pretty easy, but there was plenty of drama leading up to it. M found a dress quickly and easily, got it altered well ahead of time, and had most of the basics squared away several weeks ago. But the planning for…
Weekend Sports Notes
A busy Monday kept me from getting this out yesterday, but allow me to share some brief sports notes from the weekend. Friday we took the entire family to the 5A #1 Cathedral matchup with arch rival and defending 3A state champs BCHS. Well, L rode with S and I and then ran off with her friends the entire game.…
Weekend Sports Notes

The 2–0, class 5A #1 Irish played a perennial 6A power from up north…
Kid Sports Notes
Track The City track championship qualifying races were held Saturday. L ran the 50, 100, and 200. C ran the 100 and 200. L was a little annoyed with her assignments. Each athlete has a three event limit, and she was hoping to run a relay. Her coaches are smart, though. They know we will win the medley relay as…
Weekend Kid Sports Notes
The pace is winding down but still kid sports notes to share from the past few days. Track Yesterday was CYO track meet #3. This one was a little different: kids were free to make their own schedules. They picked a race, show up when it was called, and then scanned their wristband at the finish line to “register” themselves…
Mid-Week Kid Sports Notes
I mentioned that this would be a very busy kid sports week. That has proven to be true. As there were a couple big developments, I’m going to go ahead and get you caught up on what’s gone down the past two days. Tennis Monday M played her second tennis match. We never heard why, but they mixed up the…
Weekend Kid Sports Roundup
We have a very busy sports week ahead – weather permitting – and my plan was to hold off on another kid sports update. But it turned out to be a fairly significant sports weekend, so I’ll go ahead and share our girls’ latest accomplishments on the fields of athletic battle. Friday was M’s first-ever tennis match. I had not…
Some Firsts
We’ve gone through a series of firsts in recent days. Sunday M and I knocked out two firsts together. She recently told us that she would like to try playing tennis. As in for her high school, not just for fun or as part of some open rec league. At first S and I were concerned: M took some lessons…
