Season Of Discontent

without comments

Remember how I said before how excited I was about soccer getting started again, and all that? Well, things are not going so swimmingly for my team. 1-5, how does that sound?

That’s right - the once-mighty have fallen to the absolute bottom of our bracket. If our league has a relegation policy, we are certainly a candidate for removal.

The funny thing is, we are a much better team than this… We aren’t going to win any pennants, but we should be winning most of our matches. I could go on and on (the new keeper, several new players, no real finishers on the team, out of shape, etc), but why? Mostly its still fun, and I have started to put my hopes into a solid fall season, while thinking about spring as a “rebuilding” time for our team.

Whatever works for you, right?

The Boys Are Here!

without comments

Congratulations to Daniel and Cary on the birth of their twins, Grayton and Ben. They were a few weeks early, to say the least, but everyone is happy and healthy.

MR and I went to see the proud parents when they came home, although the boys will be spending some additional time at the hospital.
