Happy Monday

Hi gang.

-Glorious weather in NYC today.

-Liam saw his first live football game yesterday and Fof3 is happy to announce that it was a victory for the home team. Jets 17-7 against the Dolphins. We had a great time, sat next to some cool guys and saw some good football. He did however, sate halfway through the game that he missed his sisters and mom. He had a wonderful quality of wanting to share good, fun times with his family. I told him that was cool, and explained that the ladies of the house were doing fun stuff on their own.

-Speaking of my buddy boy, Liam's soccer team played a great game on Saturday. It was their first game of the year and the boys did great. Liam had a great chance to score but the goalie robbed him. Then later in the game, Liam got the ball and went around three players to give his teammate a chance. No goal, but for a few seconds, Liam thrilled to crowd of 30 or so parents with his ball handling and I swear, if he were 20 years older, a little faster and a few shades darker, I'd have thought Pele was out there. (Pele, for those who don't remember, is the former Brazilian player who is considered the greatest soccer player of all time. He did everything with a smile and lots of heart and spirit and still is a great humanitarian.) (An grew up very very poor.)

-Noelle had her second game of the year yesterday. We played so hard... and had fun. I'll be posting a link so that you can see the team pic. The team is called Cotton Candy.

-Saw lots of friends at mass yesterday. I am lucky to live in such a wonderful community like Malverne, NY.

-Caitlin went to school today looking like she's about 18. She turnds 12 in 2 weeks. Wants an IPOD Nano. <---We'll see.

-Mof3 has her second workout with her new personal trainer as I type. She complained of soreness all weekend. Every stpe she took, every stair she took, every time she sat or rose. That kind of pain is real...it is real pain, but makes everyone smile because 1) it's self -inflicted 2)it's expensive to get that kinda pain 3) it reveals the poor shape one is in.

-Watched Bonaduce last night. What a trainwreck. Anyone see it?

-That's about it from here... working on Ugliest Animals Part 3...coming up soon. Fof3... L8TER!!!
