What's New


So here is what's new... I only have about an inch left! (Don't worry... the photographer has been fired!) I also only have about 5 pounds on him now.
Soccer is getting ready start. We are in a tournament this coming weekend and then the regular season starts the 11th.
The NFL is getting ready to start. YEAH!
School has started and is going really, really well. Maybe every year it gets easier or they grow smarter at what a good deal they have but it is easy so far this year!
We had our fantasy football draft and I am happy with my team and hoping to have my name on the trophy this year under my Dad. It was a rough day because last year when we did it I was sitting next to him enjoying, what I anticipated to be, some of our final moments. We shared a sandwich and fries and I helped him try and keep up with the pace of a live draft. By the end he was wiped but happy! It was a fun season and gave us something besides cancer to talk about on our visits. I miss him...
