Pumpkin Run

 On Sunday, Emily and her closest Sporting teammates ran a 5K together. As the eight girls are spread out over seven different high school teams right now, it was a great chance for them to see each other and do a little exercise for a good cause.  The girls approached the race with varying degrees of excitement (from "can't wait" to "why are you making me do this"), but all had a great time.

Emily definitely fell in the less than enthusiastic category, but managed a PR (not that her prior time was all that impressive either).

Fall Classic

This past weekend, Elizabeht's club lacrosse team played its first tournament of the fall season.  Two other tournaments were cancelled due to COVID19 restrictions or pulled fields.  The tournament happened to be in New Hampshire, very close to our family, which was great luck, as both Grammy and Auntie Kathy were able to watch Elizabeth play lacrosse for the first time.  She is on the best team she's ever played for - the goalie is committed to play Division 1 in college next year and there are several excellent attackers.  I thought that she transitioned well to the team and had three good games.

Fall 2020

 The girls are settling in nicely at school and it is nice to seem the both return to a little bit of normalcy.  They've been able to see their friends outside of school (masks, masks, masks) and being in the classroom everyday has been really great for both them, mentally and intellectually.  We are so happy to see them so happy.
