Today was the 19th Annual Walk in the Wild for NF at the Pittsburgh Zoo. This was our second year doing this walk. Last year it was rainy and miserable. This year it was GORGEOUS weather for it. We also had custom team shirts printed this year.
Today was the Great Steps for NF walk. It was the First Annual walk for this area. (There is a bigger walk in Pittsburgh. This one is MUCH closer and supports NF, Inc.). One of my FB friends was the head volunteer! While it was a small walk, it was still a great walk! Sadly, it was COLD! It actually was snowing while we were walking. Funny, because it was 84 two days ago. Oh well, such is the weather in April in Ohio.
We went Saturday afternoon to get our tree. However, since we have a new cat this year, and he's a bit of a spaz, we have had it set up in the living room bare for a few days. Today, we took the time to put lights on and decorate it. Hemi (the cat) seems to be ignoring it for now. Let's hope it stays that way.
Warning. There are tons of pictures to follow.
Today was the 2nd Annual pumpkin carving at Rich and Sammy's house. There weren't as many pumpkins as last year, but it was still a GREAT time. Kind of crazy too. Since all the kids now have kids, there were EIGHT children 4 and under there. EIGHT! Craziness. We carved pumpkins, ate good food, and the kids got to play in a huge leaf pile. Great day.
Ok. So I thought that last was cold. I was wrong. It was 30 degrees this morning when we headed out to Emali's soccer game. Our team lost to the Cyclones (again), however we did score a goal against them today. Yay improvement. Score was 1-5. Next week is our last regularly scheduled game. The only way we play after that is if we go to the championship game. Right now we're tied for 2nd with the Tigers. Whoever wins next week's game will be in the championship game. Funny enough, we play the Tigers next week. :)
Tonight, the weather was just beautiful, so DH and I took a short little walk around our little town. I just love it here!
Today we played against the Tigers. The two teams were definitely even matched, which made for a very interesting game. We did end up winning 3-1, but I'm truly amazed at how well matched the teams were. Also, one of Eric's cousin's children played on the opposing team, so that made it interesting on the sidelines. Speaking of sidelines, my Grandma and Eric's Dad both came today. Woo hoo! Emali just loves it when people come to watch her play. In the second half, Emali ended up on the ground and hurt, so she didn't play the last 10 or so minutes. However, this is a pretty normal event, at least in recent years.
Today was a cold, wet, miserable day to play soccer. Emali, however, loves it when it's dreary like this. Today's game was against the Cyclones. Let me just say this, wow. They were an amazing team. Our team lost 0-5. 3 of those were scored against our first goalie, 2 against Emali. Emali couldn't have cared less though. Why? Well, because Eric, me, Erin, and Alvin where there. No wait. It was because Grammy Sammy, Grandpa Rich, and Grammy were there! Even though her team lost, she was really happy that they came, in the rain, to see her play.
