Blackham Update (May 2009)


05182009  

Saturday was a busy day!

The pinewood derby is tomorrow, so Gray was having the official weigh-in at our garage from 9:00-11:00. Some of that time was spent finishing up cars too.  The kids had a primary activity over at the church. We walked over, but I had to bring Colton back home because he was a stinker in more ways than one. When it was over, Cooper had his soccer game. He’s really enjoyed playing and I’m glad we were able to get him on a team. He has one or two games left.

It  was Callahan’s last soccer and basketball game. Unfortunately, the games overlapped ...  he elected to go to basketball. The soccer team still managed a win without him, but basketball was the championships to determine 1st and 2nd place. Callahan had a really awesome game and scored several points and had a couple good assists too. They were ahead for a bit, but the other team (undefeated, although we had tied them in the pre-season) managed to pull ahead right at the end to win by three.

Right after the game, Callahan had a birthday party at Hollywood Connection. I dropped him off there and then went onto my soccer game. I’ve really enjoyed playing again, although I’m not sure I’m any good or even if I’m getting any better. I usually feel it’s a pretty good workout though.

It was such a sunny day Saturday. Gray worked on the sprinklers while the kids played outside. Cooper’s cheeks are quite sunkissed, and Landon’s arm, where it was white from his cast, got burned bright red! Keaton and Callahan have been struggling a little with athlete’s foot. They both would probably benefit from bare feet, but Callahan’s especially is constantly out playing basketball ... and we usually encourage him to keep his shoes on because his feet smell SO bad when he takes his shoes off. After his full day Saturday, his feet were really hurting him, his big toe had been rubbed raw and his toe was red and swollen (similar to mine several months ago).

Gray had kept busy at work, assuming some new responsibilities there. He’s also in demand as a workout partner (racquetball for me, biking with his boss, rock climbing with a co-worker) and he spends more time than me in the kitchen cooking (he made a cilantro pesto and carrot muffins last night).  He’s got two derbies this week, and two more next week. He’s a busy boy!
