so just after nana and papa left on weds after a great visit, grandpa (terri's dad) flew in for a quick visit. he helped finish up the basement ceiling project, replaced a faulty electrical outlet, and got to see ben play a football game before leaving to get back to CA friday afternoon.
ben's team lost their game against central 13-0 but it was a memorable, epic battle on two fronts: one was that it was raining buckets throughout the game (those of us who were there got completely, utterly soaked; ben's team fumbled at least six times as a result). the second was that ben had what everyone we agreed was the monster hit of the game--blowing up a wide receiver running a reverse. (it actually knocked the kid out of the game and straight to the hospital; we heard later, luckily, that he was okay).
its been rainy ever since--including the big minnesota/wisconsin game today, and emma's marathon school fundraiser. we're hoping it might dry out a bit tomorrow: we're supposed to watch the twin cities marathon with friends in the morning, and then are taking emma's soccer team to the gopher's women's game in the afternoon. also ahead for the week: ben's teacher conferences, football and soccer games, and the start of hockey for emma. and hey, we're keeping our fingers crossed for the Twins too. only 1/2 game out as of the playoffs as of this writing!
