November - Onward to Soccer

Hi! our Rec and Comp Soccer leagues have just ended and we are now in the School Soccer season. Max made Varsity this year at Melbourne and Jack made the JV team at West Shore. They each play twice a week on the same nights. Thankfully at different times. This week was the first week of games.  We will be parked here under the Lights twice a week until February.

 Max and Jack are excited because their uniform kits have included some cool warm up suits.

I am having to adjust our dinner menus to be prepare ahead kind of meals because once 4 o clock hits its homework and soccer with everyone coming and going at different times. Fitting in a family sit down dinner will happen probably only a few times a week for now. Tonight was the first night I had to pull out a jacket. We are excited for highs of just 67 tomorrow. Ha!

I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving. Mer will be coming home next week so she can see a dr about her knee and get an MRI and then we will probably have some decisions about what to do next. She continues to do well at school and is super excited to come home and eat non cafeteria food.

I ran the Savannah Half Marathon a couple of weekends ago. It was cold that morning so I ran so much faster than I usually do  and then slowed down quite a bit at the end. But I ran it about 13 minutes faster than I did a couple of years ago so I'm happy with that.

Mischief of the week includes Jack going all out and creating a Hot Wheels collection of all his favorite cars. He and Max and Luke have been obsessed with fast cars lately. They identify them all around town and do research on them. Keeping life interesting over here.

Also for FHE one night we had night swimming. Even though it has still been hot here it hasn't bee quite hot enough over the last 3 weeks to keep the swimming pool warm.  So they decided to try the wetsuit on for a little warmth.

 Jack had to warm up a little by doing some exercises before jumping in.

Fun times.
