Doin' it all...

As the month of November draws to a close and our family briefly catches our collective breath, I thought that I would update our blog.


Sydney has been playing soccer at the New Century Fieldhouse in Gardner. Her first session of the winter season is almost complete. Her team has been playing U10 girls (a year older) and is currently undefeated. Session 2 of winter soccer will be starting after the first of the year. Sydney loves playing soccer and her skills continue to develop. This year, Sydney is also participating in basketball. Shauna and I are coaching her team. We started practice this week and her games will start in January.

Marshall is wrapping up his first session of indoor soccer. He is practicing and playing his games at All American. Marshall's team is currently in third place and headed to the playoffs. Marshall will take a few weeks off from soccer and then resume with his second session after the New Year. Basketball also started for Marshall this week. I'm coaching his team this year and we both are having a blast.

Needless to say, our schedule is jam packed. Soccer, basketball, Student Council, and Mathletics occupy most of our weekdays and weekends. We are so proud of our kids. Moriah will be starting soccer in the spring and is anxiously waiting her turn. In the meantime, she has been practicing her "footwork" at their practices and cheers them both on during the games.

On a side note... if you are not watching Homeland and listening to Lionel Richie's new cd Tuskegee you are missing out.

Thanksgiving

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This morning, Moriah enjoyed watching the parade. After reading the paper and putting the turkey in the oven, we headed to the soccer field for our annual Turkey Cup family soccer game. We dined on a delicious 24lb bird and all of the trimmings. This evening we attended the Plaza Lighting Ceremony. Everyone loved watching the fireworks. What a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful weather. As we concluded our evening with pumpkin pie, we all commented on just how lucky we are to have each other.
