Maeby continues to be the best dog ever. She is feeling much better now that she's on thyroid medication. Her skin and coat are so beautiful. She has been very cuddly with mom's injury, sleeping next to her all the time. She's had a few fun adventures this fall, and hopefully we'll get out in the spring.
John did a spartan race and a half marathon, and Joanna went to Las Vegas for tennis and St. George for soccer. All were so fun with such great people, great weather, fun sports. Unfortunately, Joanna also had a major foot injury (lisfranc) during the soccer, followed by surgery, so she will be off sports for a long time.
EPS Eagles had a bit of a rebuilding year, but they still had a fun and rewarding season with a new coach. They had a great win at the end of the season over Overlake to make it to the ESC playoffs, but they lost their two playoff games. Julia was co-captain and showed great leadership. She also earned 2nd team all conference, mainly in center back, an amazing feat considering their goals against.
Julia started 11th grade on Sep 2. She is playing soccer and doing Eagle Eye and is part of the leadership council. She will take the SAT this weekend. She is taking English, History, Physics, Calculus, Economics, and Statistics. Alex went back to Boston Sep 6 and starts classes at Tufts Sep 8. He is taking Statistics, Microeconomics, Politics, Ancient Egypt, and Philosophy. He is in a double in Hill Hall. Maeby is back to better energy after going on medication for low thyroid. She still enjoys her naps, of course.
Alex went back to work at Pacific Regent and also coached tennis at SRC with mom. He reconnected with high school friends and played a decent amount of pickleball. Julia was head life guard at SRC and also taught a lot of private swim lessons. She also won YCC with her 7 Hills Ultimate team. John took a pickleball class and taught an online class at the U of Maryland. Besides coaching at SRC, Joanna spent a lot of time trying to (slowly) rehab elbow and hip issues. As a family, we went to a few Mariners and Reign games, hung out with grandma and grandpa and Maeby, and went to the Somerset 4th of July BBQ. Julia also went to the Noah Kahan concert but didn't share photos. It was a great summer, especially since we got so much time together at home.
