1st Week of Summer & Nanny Grace!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - Grace started with us and so I hung back a little before heading into the office to ensure she got all squared away on day one, she comes at 830a. The kids were SO EXCITED to see her!  Clint ran Rosie to the groomer shortly after she got there. Then I was off and Connor was getting ready for day 1 of Football camp. Fortunately it wasnt super hot this year, Connor always complains about how hot it is during football camp ;-)  That night, Maci had practice at 7p and it was a gorgeous night so I sat outside doing work at the park.  Afterward, Maci and the girls were so pumped b/c they had a new helper at practice - Katie.  She played for Stanford and now plays for the MN pro women's team, Aurora.  She signed Maci's cooling towel HAHA
Football Camp Bros
  • Tuesday - Another day of football camp for Connor.  I got new headshots at work which meant I dressed a little nicer than usual :) I then had a 1/2 day offsite with my leadership team and we did an awesome talent discussion, so well received!!  That evening, the Shamoon's kindly took Connor to and from baseball while Clint took Maci to her soccer game.  I was on a boat cruise with my leadership team - gorgeous night for it!  Towards the end of the cruise, I looked down at my phone to learn Maci had a killer rip and sure enough game winner - 1-0!  Dang leftie, I see you!
Just a little windy!

Gorgeous night on Lake Minnetonka 
  • Wednesday - Rainy mess of a day!  I had to speak to 8k+ people during our fireside chat with the leadership team but I think I was super natural, at least Clint said that when I sent him the recording :) Then we had another 1/2 day leadership meeting.  Maci had a soccer training indoors and Connor's football camp was cancelled for the day due to rain.  By night, I was exhausted from a super busy week all ready and crashed early!
  • Thursday - Maci had her 1st summer gymnastics class at 915a.  Connor had the last day of camp that they added 1.5 hours to so it was almost 5 hours - a little much for any 8 year old HA!  However, he survived and got a poster signed by all the seniors - so cool!  I had a busy day of meetings but then got out of there on time to take Maci to her soccer game while Clint and Connor went to his scrimmage.  Maci once again fired with that left foot and scored 2 goals in the 4-0 win against Orono!  Her nanny Grace even came to watch her - so sweet! That girl is on fire and as a result was asked to play with Academy 1 in a tournament this weekend & in the USA Cup in July.  Go girlie girl!
Friday
  • Grace is off on Friday's and she is on vacation the next 1 1/2 weeks so we will have a sub.
  • I got some work done in the morning for an urgent deliverable.  
  • I then ran to a facial apt before coming home and having a super productive afternoon.
  • We were in a lazy mood for a Friday night so got some Punch Pizza and Salads before taking a walk, watching random TV/resting!
Saturday :
  • Up and at 'em around 7a as Maci was subbing in the Academy 1 tournament and game 1 was about 45 mins away at 9a so arrive at 830a.
  • Unfortunately a 2-0 loss but Maci played fierce and thankfully wasnt in the mix on either scored goals :)
  • We then ran some errands at Target before heading to the Twins game.
  • We got there about 2 hours before game time and had tickets where you get unlimited food/soda/water so we had a full lunch.
  • About 25 mins before game time, they announced the game was delayed due to impending weather until Sunday and they would do a double header.
  • We finished our beers and headed home for a nap before the 530p soccer game but it got cancelled due to the rain.
  • Instead, we met up with some of the Academy 2 parents for dinner/drinks at Sunshine Factory - fun random Saturday night out.
  • We checked the schedule and due to the rain, even though dry on Sunday, they cancelled the rest of the tournament so yay - Maci and I can go to all of Connor's stuff.
Before the Rain Out
Sunday : 
  • Happy Father's Day!!!
  • We started the day by sleeping in, giving Clint gifts and then picking up Peg's countryside cafe for breakfast.
  • Clint and Connor headed to Flag Football final game at 11a.  Maci and I came behind for the actual game at 12p.
  • They whooped up on the other team and had a great season with only 1 loss week 1!!
  • We all then hustled over to baseball where the butt whooping continued.  They crushed the Giants and Connor had some great in field plays as well as a few good hits.
  • We headed home, got some errands done and then were off to the Twins reschedule.  Dang was it HOT but also a gorgeous night.
  • Twins were able to hang on to a 9-8 win at the top of the 9th!  The boys loved how much hitting was happening - multiple home runs throughout the game!  Maci even enjoyed the baseball :)
  • We came home and crashed after a long hot weekend and too much fun!
Great Squad!

Happy Fathers Day - Post W

Twins Fun!

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
