Holidays 2025

We spend xmas at home and then went to Minnesota for New Year's (not many pictures since people were sick). Holiday activities included a lot of baking (including an elaborate yule log), U Club Dinner, and Julia and Dad saw Elf. It was great to see Alex again, although his break was really long.

La Jolla 40s Hardcourts

Joanna headed to La Jolla for the Level 1 40s hardcourts. I had a great tournament, losing to Mariko in the semis and taking 3rd place. In doubles, we won the consolation draw and got 5th. It was so great to hang out in SoCal and play good tennis.

Thanksgiving 2025

We spent Thanksgiving with the Feltons on Orcas Island at John and Ann's compound. What an amazing place! We toured the town, went for walks, played Telestrations, and lounged around. Maeby even got to go on the ferry.

Start of EPS Girls Basketball

Julia is trying basketball for the first time and it's going great so far. She's a tough defender and she's smart and physical. They were 1-1 at the kickoff jamboree with Julia playing through a bad cut on her eye from another girl's fingernail. The girls seem to be having a lot of fun.

Intersectionals in Phoenix

Joanna traveled to Phoenix for the intersectional team championships. We lost to Texas in the first round and then won the backdraw, finishing 5th with a record of 3-1. Joanna was 6-1 with a nice comeback win in doubles vs Texas and some solid singles. 7 matches in 3 days was a lot but the training paid off. The group was also very fun and the house was amazing. Now on to La Jolla in Dec.

Other Fall Fun

The Mariners had a nice run to the division championships, the Reign made the playoffs, Grandma and Grandpa F went to Japan, John Julia and Joanna went to My Favorite Murder, Joanna did some halloween tennis, and Maeby protected all of us. Julia also went to Homecoming with her friends but no pictures were shared.
