I just have to laugh a bit--Liisa is just giggling that while we have 70 degree weather down here, and are sitting outside in the partial sun, Minneapolis is being pounded by a winter storm and they are getting about an inch of snow an hour. What a difference 600 miles sometimes makes!
The kids had travel league this morning and we all went. Neither Rei nor Aurora did as well as they'd have liked, but Liisa, Skye and I all cheered for them. Eric acted as assistant coach for Coach Ray and it was fun. Best of all it was at a local (relatively speaking) lanes so that we didn't need to be on the road so early to get there.
I have one Christmas gift (belated) done, and the other is about a third done... Missed my self-imposed valentine's day deadline too, but that is life. I wish I had nothing but time to sit and do what I enjoy versus all that needs to be done, but that isn't real life on any level. I really enjoyed the last project and look forward to finishing this next one. They are wonderful and it's gonna be tough to part with them!
I am really looking forward to sewing soon too. I have a few projects to get going on--one for a gift, the other as a contribution to the silent auction for Aurora's marching band. Speaking of Aurora, she was co-most valuable player for her team at their end of the season pizza party, and they gave her many accolades for her hard work this season with the team. It was an emotional night, and I was so glad that Liisa, Skye, and I could be there with her for it. She has done well for herself, and was ranked 5th overall for their section for the season.
Eric has the auto race on. I can't understand the interest or value in it--going round and round in circles. Blech! I am gonna check some homework out, then cross stitch I think. We are planning to go out tonight for a family dinner with Liisa to celebrate her being here, as Eric has to work Monday and Tuesday nights, and he bowls Wednesday. Liis leaves early Thursday morning. I really love having her here! It's gonna be hard to send her home.
Can't think of anything I want to add, so I guess I will switch gears to homework.
