A few weeks ago Elliot and I were interviewed for an article in Clive Living magazine. I thought we were going to be part of a larger article, but when Susan pulled the magazine out of the mailbox Susan said, “Rob, have you seen this?”
Elliot it running track this spring. It is the usual cold, slow start to the season. He had a good meet tonight hanging on for the win in the JV distance medley and his team ran well in the 4×400, too.
Elliot turned 17 this year. He is fun to have around and enjoys running, pickleball, and games. He and I enjoy watching sports together and playing ping pong almost every night in the winter. He hit the gym a lot over the winter and would often stop at Ross on the way home looking for deals .
We are approaching our spring activities season, where we will be busy with plenty of practices, games, concerts, dances and graduations.
Today we celebrated the end of another cross country season. Elliot had a good season and was derailed toward the end with a nagging injury. He’ll be a senior next year and we are excited for what that will bring.
We took this picture post-Griak – not at the Mystery Spot.
This weekend Susan and Erin took Mari, Cameron, Elliot and Hope up to St. Bens/St. Johns for a college visit.
Today was the first cross country meet of the season. It was supposed to be last week, but that got canceled because of the heat.
