Today marked the last day of Fall soccer. It also marked Dan’s Monster Dash Half Marathon in Chicago. Which meant he wasn’t here to help me with soccer. Five kids, four games. Things started fabulously: Since Luke and Sam both had games scheduled for the same time, but different parks, some friends picked Luke up [...]

Gran and Maddog came to visit for the weekend. I think, in between all the activity, they got to see everyone. Dan and I may have corrupted our son… Luke ran his first 5K over the weekend. (And can’t wait for the next one!) Everyone (except Andrew) also played soccer this weekend. While there are [...]

Something green: Luke’s first race bib, which hangs on his bedroom wall. He was so proud (as were we)!

This morning, Dan ran a 4-mile race and Lukie ran a 1K. Dan’s race was first. In the usual fashion, we had no solid plan, so I ended up standing around the 4-mile finish line with five kids, searching for a sweaty Dan. Although we were plenty early, it did us no good. We were [...]

First day of soccer. One was thrilled because he won. One cried because he had to play in the rain. One cried because her game was canceled. Two cried because they were wet and cold. Can’t wait for the next one!

Staying true to his Gloria Gaynor ringtone, my dad (and mom) survived the visit with us. I talked to my mom from the airport in Austin a little while ago and I told her I thought the weekend went really fast. “Well, I’m glad you thought so,” was her reply. Hmmmm. Does that mean she [...]

Forgive my bragging, but I just can’t help myself. This is such a proud mommy-moment for me. Check out these pants! They’re WHITE! BRIGHT WHITE! And, they weren’t before! I mean, they were when we bought them, but then Jack played t-ball in the mud in them. I know it’s hard for you to believe [...]
There’s no crying in soccer
September 15th, 2007 · No Comments · Parenting, Sports
At least there’s not supposed to be. (Okay, so I don’t know that for sure… I never played so I can’t say I know all the rules.) Maria’s not crying because she’s hurt or because she lost the game. Is she just crying because her dad’s the coach? I mean, what else is there to [...]
