scaqaboutwest: Wild Hare Day

Today was a big day for members of our crew remaining in Michigan. And since this is about that, perhaps this entry should go on the old scaqabout blog, but that's not what I'm going to do. Besides, this is about rabbits.

Speaking of rabbits (which we are), we have quite a few rabbits living in our yard, and yesterday I saw a little baby one. I guess that's why there are so many. Just wait 'till Amos gets here!

Abbey's eighth grade jazz band performed at Quinn's school today. I guess that went fine, but I didn't get much of a report about it. Quinn said it was good.

Quinn finished his second card in mileage club today, which means he's spending a portion of his recess running laps for mileage credit. For each lap, his card gets punched, and after some number of laps, his card is full and he starts another. He's consciously maintaining a good balance of running laps for half his recess and playing soccer for the rest of it so he stays on top of both. Today he ran two miles; yesterday nearly three. Watch out, Heather.

Abbey played goalie for the first half of her lacrosse game this afternoon. She blocked a shot with her face. It was fired from just a few feet away. It's a good thing she wears a mask. And it's a good thing she's fearless. Abbey had to leave the game early so she could get her clothes changed and make it to her evening jazz festival concert.

Quinn had a soccer practice this evening but he also had to leave early so he could get to Abbey's evening jazz concert.

Abbey has been playing in both the 7th and 8th grade jazz bands. This evening she had a solo in "Yesterday," that well-known song by some famous band. What was their name? The Rabbits? I wish I'd been there to hear it. The DVD should be out soon. Of course I'm bragging about her, she's my daughter.

Oh, and it was Wild Hare Day at Quinn's school, which probably made the Cornell Elementary mascot happy. He's a cougar.
