Happy Hanukkah!

Gooooooooal!!!!

Nothing like having the soccer team you coach come back in the last 15 minutes down 3-0, tie it and then see your own kid put in the game winner on the sevent shot of the shootout.

It was Max's first goal of the season and he almost won it at the end of regulation with a shot high and into the far corner of the goal.  Their tall keeper had to make a great save to stop it.



Note Max's Megan Rapinoe celebration afterward.

Also note that to the victors go the cheeseburgers!

An Enchanted evening

It was a fun night under the lights and on the ice at our ballpark holiday event, Enchant!

Something is missing from this picture

Much to be thankful for

Egg nog? More like egg nah.

Our youngest has rebranded egg nog and now refers to it as “Christmas juice.”

Feel free to run with it, but be sure to credit Sam.

Basketball

Max began practice with his first organized hoops team. Several of his friends and coaches from baseball are on the team.

And it’s the first time that I haven’t coached one of the boys’ teams, so I get to watch practice for a change!

Happy 7th Birthday, Sam!

Hard to believe our loveable, crazy and sweet Sam is 7 years old today.  It's been a year filled with all kinds of growth, discovery and listening to him walk around the house singing everything to the tune of the National Anthem.

Here's a look back at Sam O's journey from 6 to 7.

Ain't no party like a Sam O. party!

We celebrated Sam's 7th a day before his birthday on the 11th with a party that had only one theme... FUN.

Ready to get the party started.

Taste testing mom's homemade cider donuts!
