Jude on the move in the South Varsity game against Eaglecrest

We are in the thick of high school sports season. Jude has one or two soccer games every week. Anna has to cheer a football game every week and of course, she has both high school and Cheer Athletics practice almost every day. It is a busy time for the kids but they are both keeping up with schoolwork and getting good grades.

First family pickleball game at Gates

I have been curious about pickleball for a while and after watching the Blue Zones documentary that featured pickleball as a way to help longevity I decided it was time to give it a try. So, I bought some racquets (paddles?) and we booked a court at our local tennis/pickleball center. All four of us went and while Anna was not all that into it the rest of us enjoyed it. I want to see if it is something we can start to play more often.

Marcy about to do battle under the deck

We discovered a leak in a sprinkler line that ran under the deck. The ground was sinking in one area so Marcy went under to assess the damage today. Under the deck has been a breeding ground for wasps so she got fully geared up for battle. Thankfully, the pest control we did a few weeks back appears to be holding, no wasps were encountered.
