We got an e-mail from Carmen today letting us know about everything that is going on. This past weekend, she ran in the Spain National Track and Field Championships in Barcelona. She said she didn’t do as well as she had hoped, but in her division, she placed 20th in the entire country! Sounds awesome […]
Today was a busy day also. We started off with Zach’s soccer game. They lost, but the kids played great and they are getting better and better every week. I love the fact that the most important thing is just to have fun and that the score really doesn’t matter. We got some good pictures,
WOW! It’s hard to believe it! Sarah turned 16 today! It’s amazing how fast time flies! It was just yesterday that we were poor, struggling, college students bathing our little Sarah in our kitchen sink when she was only 3 months old! 🙂 Brittany planned a GREAT surprise party for Sarah! She invited a bunch
Today was Zachary’s first full soccer game. The last 3 weeks have been spent in clinics and scrimmages for the Kindergarten-age kids. The team has become MUCH better since the first week they practiced! 🙂 Zachary’s team won 5-2 and ZACHARY SCORED A GOAL!!! 🙂 He was playing fullback and got the ball. There wasn’t
Today was an incredibly busy day! This morning Zachary had soccer practice, and he is doing a little better. The team at least didn’t bunch together like bees around honey, so that is good! 🙂 The head coach wasn’t there, so it fell upon me as assistant coach to get the team practicing the drills.
Zach had soccer practice this morning and then team pictures this afternoon. It’s really fun being their coach, and it is quite humorous too! During the clinic and practice, the expert leader teaches them some things and then we go back and practice. It’s funny to watch them. During the scrimmage part of the clinic,
Tonight we had a church activity (HP Group) going to a Chicago White Sox game! A friend of ours in our ward works for Waste Management and they have a box suite at the park. We hung out, ate food, watched the game, and had a great time! The Sox won 2-0. It wasn’t close
Today was quite the day. Zachary had his first day of soccer! He was SOOOO excited to go this morning! Angela volunteered me to be the assistant coach so I was involved today as well! 🙂 It’s been a LONG time since I played soccer but it really doesn’t matter that much with kids in
Today turned out very well! At work, as part of the Grant Thornton Leadership Program that I am taking part in, one of the areas of the program is to take on a leadership role to give back to the firm. I was asked to co-chair the IT Leadership Council, a group of my peers
Angela still is in a LOT of pain and couldn’t even get up to go to church today. I took all the kids and she was able to get about 4 hours of undisturbed rest. By the end of the day today, however, she was able to get up by herself (still very slowly) and
Today was a great day for Sarah! After getting home from the hospital and getting about 2 hours of sleep, we got up with Sarah and took her to the high school at 5am for a trip to participate with the Northwestern University Wildcat band for pre-game and halftime shows for the football game! She
Today was a GREAT day! I got out of work early for an Oakbrook IT picnic at a nearby park. We had a great time and had lots of food to eat and games to play. I was there for a couple of hours and then had to leave to see Sarah play in the
