HoCo!

Liesl and her friends got ready together at Annie's house and then went together to the Homecoming dance at school. 

the before... 
Liesl couldn't tie her own shoes without revealing too much skin, so her date helped out.

Liesl's soccer game vs. Sherwood, a 5-1 victory. Here are some photos of Liesl; there are more photos of the whole team in my Google drive.

Seb's first month at GU

 Scenes from Seb's first few weeks as a Zag. Lots of hanging out, lots of sports, good fun.
Dinner at Chili's for his roommate Asher's birthday.
Awwww.
Morning runs along the river trails. 
Watching the re-release of the Cars movie in theatres, for the 20th anniversary.
Pickup soccer, more running.
Freshmen games -- intramural softball, volleyball, and other sports.

JV soccer

After a summer of "optional" training sessions and three week-long camps (i.e. tryouts), which were competitive and stressful, Liesl was delighted to make the Lincoln JV soccer team. The season has started off well with 3 wins and 2 losses. She's been playing defense, originally as left or right back in a 3-5-2 formation, and now as the center defender (because Clea tore her ACL).

Spokane

Steve and I enjoyed wandering around and exploring Gonzaga and Spokane. What a great college campus and terrific small city! I love the riverfront area -- so many trails and parks and bridges.

Seb's dorm, Catherine-Monica Hall.
A carousel, all lit up, and an enormous Radio Flyer slide. If we'd had any small children with us, we would have taken advantage of these fun things!
Love this high prairie sky on the drive home.
Jazzy was so happy to see us.
