TESTIFY!

YES! The Mighty Rain heard our prayers! In the early morning hours that little boy was running all over the place reminding everyone that today was Friday and that he had soccer practice. I was frantically checking email, calling the rain-out hot line, and flashing crusties at the threatening clouds every 1/2 hour. I didn't have the courage to tell him there was a possibility of cancelled soccer today. I just held tight to that little scrap of faith that everything would work out.
These are definitely the moments worth living for.


The next Carlos Bocanegra!


Great listening skills!


Going for the goal with Coach Bob cheering him on!

Some mothers seemed pretty peeved to be out there. Hello, it wasn't even raining! Next time bring a beach chair to sit on and snackies for your toddler. That might help! Duh!
No, this is not AYSO, they don't get uniforms, they don't get to play other teams, they don't even get a team name. But it is still important! We're getting pumped for AYSO starting this fall. This Fall! I can't believe it! I have been looking forward to that soccer season ever since I found out I was pregnant with him. And he's going to be great!

Thank you to all for your prayers and well wishes on our behalf. You'll never know how much it means to Dillan. Ok, means to ME!


Work up a sweat and a smile. Even from LMcQ beanie.

As a side note, I received my blog book in the mail this week. Let me begin by saying that I had no idea what to expect from this publisher (Blog2Print), and I was too impatient to keep looking. Yeah. Next time I will probably be looking around a little more. The problem? Spacing. I try to make my blog look nice with text and pictures residing in harmony on my computer screen. Well, in the book, they didn't quite turn out that way. Slightly frustrating. Editing options were minimal. It would have been nice to lay it out EXACTLY how I wanted it to look and then expected it to turn out that way.
If anyone wants to see it, I will gladly show you, but be prewarned: I will most likely talk your ear off about all the problems I have with the book and all the changes I would have made. Chris, on the other hand, is completely satisfied with it. And, since I couldn't get over the fact that he thought spending $42.80 on the book was reasonable, I've let it be as it will.
Since ordering the book, I have found a website/company through a friend of a friend that does blog backups with a downloadable software for free and they will soon be offering printed books. I plan to look into that for next time.
