The first month of 2022 is about over. That's sure hard to believe. We've been keeping busy with Emma and basketball practice and games, and just the general work/school/homework busyness.
Emma had her first basketball scrimmage game two Fridays ago. It was really cute and fun to watch, and just a little bit painful. Emma has really good defensive skills, now we just need to work on shooting and just general awareness of what is going on on the basketball court. But, I have to remember she is only in 4th grade, and she has a lot of learning ahead of her. Her team did win, and she seemed to really enjoy herself out there, so that's the main thing. Elliott was also there, and he enjoyed running around with the other kids and cheering for the Bethel teams.
My parents came to visit last weekend. They came on Saturday morning. We enjoyed some homemade pizzas for lunch and then we went to Sport Bowl for a couple hours of bowling. It was really fun to get out of the house and enjoy some bowling. It was a good time. Mom actually beat us all in the first game, which I don't think anybody expected.
After bowling, we got some groceries and made some chicken tacos for supper. They were delicious. We played some games with the kids, and then just visited and had a nice evening. On Sunday, we did the church thing, hung out for a while, and then mom and dad headed home. It was a nice little visit.
This past week has been pretty low key. We actually didn't have a million things going on, which was nice. This weekend was the same way. We really didn't have any commitments, and we were content to just hang out and relax. John did get his suit for Jeff's wedding yesterday. While he did that, the kids and I played legos, baked mini bundt cakes, and then went ice skating at Memorial Park. The kids really enjoyed the skating. Elliott went around like 10 times, and Emma enjoyed it until she got a blister. I think we will be back again though, both kids need for practice with their ice skates.
After skating, we headed out to Jim and Barb's house for supper. The kids begged to stay overnight, so they did. John and I enjoyed a quiet evening at home, and then we went to church today without kids which was kind of weird. Now, John is ice fishing, the kids are still at the farm, and I am catching up on some stuff at home. It's been a good weekend, and I am feeling caught up on things. This afternoon there are some football games, and I will probably work on our puzzle and enjoy the games.
Next week is looking busier, so I am going to enjoy the quiet :)
