Another eventful weekend is in the books, everyone had practices that led to games. Tiff posted some photos below, Gabe playing on his Sunday soccer team, then Elli and flag football and then Abbi, who participated in her first swim meet Saturday. And oh yeah, we thought the dog broke his leg last week, but it turned out its just a sprain!
Gabe has one more week of football left and he has informed us this is it for football, he would like to try cross country next fall, fine with us! After missing four games with a concussion he has suited up with minimal playing time. The sophs are 6-2 and should pick up win 7 against North on Friday, the team should finish in 3rd place in the soph MAC race. The varsity team beat West a few weeks back, they are 1-7. Like the Cubbies....maybe next year!
Elli has been busy with both her soccer teams, she scored a goal on her select team game on Saturday off a corner kick, split two defenders and beat the goalie! As previously blogged, that used to mean Whiteys, but I came up with another idea......Frosty's from Wendy's. A lot cheaper!!! Her flag football team has a couple games left. They have not scored a lot of touchdowns, the kids don't block, which makes it hard. There is some video below.
Abbi had a rather exciting weekend competing in her first swim meet for the Metro Swim Club. She told us a couple weeks ago she wanted to try it, but we didn't have the proper gear, so investments were made for Metro swim caps, Metro swim suits, new goggles and plenty of clothes, snacks and towels. Her best friend Meredith is also on the team, they were extremely excited for the meet at West High. They had to be there early, in the water at 6:45am for the 8am start time. Abbi did 4 events, including a relay, which starts the video below. Elli had a soccer game at 10am, so Tiff went and then I came a short while later and saw a couple events she was in, it was really cool, she has already informed us that she wants to do more meets this fall and winter.
I mentioned Ambrose had a tough week confined to our living room following his accident in the yard. The vet didn't think he had broken his leg, gave us some pills and told us no excitement. Kinda hard for a 7 month old puppy. His gimp went away later in the week, not without some incidents during the week. Like somehow he managed to knock off his pill bottle from the kitchen counter and then somehow he got it open and then he ate the three pills in the bottle, before eating the bottle. Yeah, he ate the pill bottle. Interestingly enough though, he didn't eat the pill bottle cap. He also jumped out of front window watching uncle Jamie wash his car and he jumped high in the air to try and jump over his kennel, stood upright keeping him confined in the kitchen. I failed to close the lid of the kennel, he wound up jumping in the kennel, trapping himself in the kennel.
