Soccer Season Complete


Connor enjoyed an amazingly fun season with the Wizards. It was an incredible group of parents and kids and we lucked out on weather (except as you can see for the last game). It was a wonderful feeling to cheer on the team - even when they suffered some devastating losses. During one game Connor said, "I can't even watch any more. We are getting destroyed!" But, he always ended the game with a smile and a snack. And really - what's better than that? (To which I would respond, uh a trophy?) But, I am reminded that it's only 6 year old soccer.
We look forward to another season in the Spring - assuming of course that his interests have not moved on to say something like the xylophone. But, if it does I will cheer from the parents section of the xylophone concert, "You play that man!"

Oh dear you're 3, how can it be?



Today my darling Quinn you are three years old. I'm not sure how this can be. I so vividly remember the day we welcomed you into this world and how it felt to hold you that first time. It felt like my heart would burst.
And then Connor met you and fell in love with you immediately. From that point on the 2 of you have been coconspirators against your father and me.
You are the family princess, sass master, goofball and diva (you stripped that from me long ago).
I adore you and can't imagine this world without you - oh how bland that would be.
All my love, Mama.
