Soccer...finally!

Daven has managed to squeeze two games of soccer in between all the rainy weather we've had here at Fort Leavenworth. His team, The Red Clones, have 9 kids on it. We play 7 kids at a time including a goalie, a step up from the 6 and under soccer league of last fall where there was no goalie! One of the coaches had to step down so I dug out my old Coach's jersey from last season and now I'm coaching again. Fortunately we were the red dragons last season so I'm not out of fashion!

Daven has progressed in his soccer skills from last fall. He's much more alert on the field and has had some great runs down the field. His defense is also getting alot better along with his persistance in trying to get the ball. I couldn't be more proud of him!

We literally have nothing but games from now until the end of the season. We even have a few Saturday games to play catch up from all the rain outs. Hopefully we can get some pics and even a video or two from an upcoming game. For now, Go Red Clones!!

Mother's Day

We had a great Mother's Day yesterday, right up until last night. We let Mom sleep in on Mother's day and had some nice surprises waiting for her. Mom got another "Atta Girl" award for her bracelet, some new italian charms for her charm bracelet, and a gift card for her new favorite store, Ann Taylor!

We went for a nice walk as a family around the golf course and Daven walked Chloe the whole way. I then treated her to a home cooked meal at the Chinese buffet restuarant down in Leavenworth. We then moved outside for "water sports" which lasted until the evening. I went to Connor Cabrey's confirmation as his sponsor (quite an honor) which took me out of the mother's day mix for a few hours. Once I returned, Julia and I were invited for dinner upstairs at the Cabreys. We had a great meal and our favorite babysitter, Dee-Dee watched the kids. It was looking like a great ending to a good mother's day.

Then the Katie struck. She started crying around 9:30 PM and nothing we did could get her back to sleep for more than a few minutes. Long story long, she finally crashed around 3:30 in the morning! She was tired and grumpy this morning but there doesn't seem to be anything "wrong" with her. All I can say is thank goodness for coffee!

I hope everyone enjoyed their mother's day! Back to my caffine curve!
