Our First Soccer Game!

Our first soccer game was this morning. Our team, the Electic Eels did great. Although there is no winner or loser, my guys kicked 9 goals - Jackson kicking 2 of those. They rocked. They did everything just like they do in practice. The blue jerseys are perfect for the "eels." I was so relieved to be able to rely on the other coach to mentor me through my first game as a coach. I've got it now and I'm ready for next game. We have team pictures on Monday -can't wait to post some!

Ready for School

Jackson had open house for Kindergarten last evening. School starts Monday :)

Sara B Footage

I guess it's OK to post this!

Concert

We're having a great weekend. We left Thursday for Pittsburgh to see Sara Bareillis, Counting Crows, and Maroon 5 in concert @ the Post Gazette Pavilion (Star Lake Ampitheater for those of us who were concert-goers in the early 90s). Sara B. blew our socks off even though she only played 5 songs. She's the entire reason we went to the concert. Counting Crows and M5 were good too. Sara B is supposed to headlining her own tour, so we'll have to follow her! The boys were so good and had a great time too. We stayed in Pittsburgh and I went to a workshop on Friday.

It's Soccer Season

You can call me sucker or Coach Amy - either way I'll answer. I'm coaching Jackson's AYSO soccer team this year. It's really a lot of fun. I have a team of 6 boys who decided that the name of their team is the "Electric Eels." We practice on Mondays and Wednesdays. Our first game is on the 23rd. I'm excited and nervous. I'm surprised at how good these little guys are - they get along and listen so well!

Insect update

Thanks to Grammy Linda who helped us find out that the mysterious moth/bee/hummingbird insect is called a hummingbird moth!

What Kind of Bug?

We have no idea what kind of bug this is - kind of a mix between a humming bird, a moth, and a bee. It's wings fluttered really fast, it had a long snout for sucking nectar, and it was fuzzy?????It was pretty interesting anyway.
