HOCO 2023

Homecoming 2023 
Complete with 8 girls, 2 cars, 1 dinner, 1 ice cream trip, 1 dance and a sleepover. 

The girls all got ready at our house. 
Heidi and I were the caravan to get the girls to dinner at Lucky Chucky's. 
The girls weren't in a hurry to get to the dance, so we made a quick stop at The Chocolate factory before dropping them back at school to dance the night away. 
After the dance, they spent the night at the Blawat household. 
Dress from Element Style, shoes from Nike.com
While the girls were having fun, I spent the night with my NA beer, Piper and Ed/Eddie's game on the computer.

MJA does Ohio

Mid September happenings

Yearly vet visit for Piper - weighing in a 19 lbs. 
Otherwise a clean bill of health. 

First games for MJA this weekend.
Another weekend of WEHL - complete with a team lunch and some volleyball in between. 
Boys got their share of team time too. 
On Sept 14th, Ed had a lipoma removed from his neck at Waukesha Memorial. 
Was a day surgery, where they did put him fully under due to the positioning needs to access his neck. 
He did great - sutures are dissolvable. 
Before heading to surgery, the Explorer was towed from our garage as we noticed it leaking a large amount of fluid the previous night. Always something. 
While playing in IL the following weekend (9/17) the fire alarm went off and caused them to evacuate the rink. Nothing like hanging outside in your gear for awhile. 
We were also watching Twiggy for a couple days - but the boys got to visit with Dusty, Julie and Hudson for a bit between games, and were even fed too. 
Finally got Eddie's 'Show' pictures hung on his wall. 
Great walk with Piper in the morning before heading to the Dells to visit Grandma and Grandpa ahead of two games in Lake Delton. Rowan drove me there (most of the way) so that was fun too. 
Grandma, Rowan and I went out to dinner Friday night at the Golf course. Then a couple games Saturday before heading home. Sadly I caught a case of bed bugs after spending the night - was a rough couple itchy days following.

off to the races

Smiths made it to Jefferson to spend the night with the Blawat family and watch Chris race. 
Such a fun experience - especially getting to play in the pits with everyone. 
Sadly, Chris got in a fender bender and wasn't able to race in the final race. 
Hopefully we weren't bad luck. Excited to watch again next year!
