Sandy comes for a visit

This is so great!  On December 2, my sister Sandy flew in from Kirkland, WA (near Seattle) with her boyfriend, Chris for a visit!

It has been four years since we've seen each other, and a lot has transpired in that amount of time.  Markel and Alex have graduated and moved out (actually Markel is back), Sandy divorced Blaine and is now dating Chris.  Anyway ...

We spent Friday together shopping and touring the area.  She was introduced a bit to my crazy life when I had to pick up the girls food order and deliver it to the high school by 3:30.  Then get home to feed the kids, and leave again to be at the high school for the first games of the season for both JV and Varsity teams.  Why do I have to be at JV - because I am the team statistician - how did that happen?

They were great troopers!  Mark and I had to sit at the officials table, while Sandy, Chris and Marissa sat behind us (Devon and Robert are on a campout at Tunnel Mill, IN).

Unfortunately, the girls team lost but they held the lead until the last 3 minutes of the game when Lucy Gibson fouled out.  Then her replacements couldn't handle the pressure.  SO SAD.  We were up by 8 and lost by 13.  Jessica had a good game, but not her best...that came on Saturday (but we didn't get to see it).

See next post.
