The One With The Championship

Bri had an amazing week last week. Her team was in the playoffs.

And what a run it was.

Her first game was on Wednesday. Her team won that game 20-5, moving onto the championship game. Bri got two hits in the game and made a put out. She also played a mean catcher.

In the championship game, Bri played catcher again. She got a walk and made solid plays in the field and behind the plate.

But the nice part was, her team won the championship!!!

Bri became the first "champion" in our family unit.

Congrats B

The One With a Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day. And, boy is it a wonderful day. I am truly blessed to be a dad.

We celebrated a beautiful day today:

• I woke up and we watched a show Bri and Kiff love called Flipped Vegas
• We played some video games
• I opened a couple of cool gifts - including Indiana Jones for Wii 
• We went out for breakfast
• We took nice car ride and encountered a lost dog that found its way home
• We watched Dr. Strange
• We got a nice meal in
• We watched Celtics and Lakers 30 for 30.

Overall, a beautiful day.

And a happy father's day to you, Dad. I love you...and I miss you everyday!

The One With The Other Recital

Another weekend, another recital.

Although, this time, it was not ours. It was Katie's recital. We went earlier today and enjoyed the show. It was the first time Kiff and I had gone to see it, and it was a lot of fun.

It is interesting to see how different dance schools treat recitals. This one was a little bit different. There were some scenes from plays and musicals worked into numbers, as well as a ballet section in the middle, and some neat gymnastics. Along with that, there was a mother dance and a father/daughter dance.

Very cool and very fun. Topped off with a visit to Fuddruckers.

The One Where We Have The Recital

This weekend was a busy weekend - Recital Weekend in Lawrence. And both Bri and Kiff rocked it big time.

This year, the recital was at 4:30, so we learned a lesson from last year to be there about an hour early. However, next year, we will go for 1:30 early. There was still quite a line.

Once we got settled, the recital was - simply put - awesome. Bri was in two performances at the beginning of the recital. Then, Kiff had three dances and Bri one in the second half, which went so quickly.

The dances themselves were great. We had the whole family come out to watch as well, which was a blast for all of us.



Bri showed her typical determination to get every step right...and Kiff showed that he loved being the star of the show.

It was quite an exhausting day because we had a baseball game and softball pictures early in the day!

Zoinks.

But overall, a great recital.

The One Where The Celtics Get The Number One Pick

It is amazing.

Something that never happened before

And no one was too sure it was going to happen.

But as of this week, the Celtics - by virtue of the Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett trade

Earned the number 1 pick in the NBA lottery.

Amazing!

Go Celtics.
