Happy Halloween!

John, Baba and Mary (aka Spider-Man, Pirate and Witch!).

Goal Oriented

Ever since the World Cup, John has become a soccer nut. He plays at home all the time -- in the hallway or outside in our front yard. And he'll play with whoever is available: me, Meg, Mary or any number of kids in the neighborhood. And he loves to practice and play with his team, the Meteors. This video shows John playing and loving the beautiful game.

John's first Soccer game

The Canadian Meteors played their first match ever today, facing off against Switzerland (or Swiss Cheese, as their coach called them). John played a great game, winning the ball, defending well, and scoring a number of goals. Tom attended the game and snapped some great photos, which are below.

Chalk + Water = Fun

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend started off right, with a trip to the West U. pool with Pa and Nini. We bought an underwater camera on the way and snapped some cool pictures.
