it was a rainy, busy day with last minute errands, preparing for carl, mercedes, pierce & london's arrival and gearing up for brooke's first soccer game! brooke's team has only had one practice, and the coaches really didn't do anything to prepare them for the game. so, the game was pretty humorous. brooke's team (in red) didn't score a single goal. the pink team scored about 30. despite the lopsided outcome, i was so proud of brooke's enthusiasm for the game. brooke played almost the entire game and never wanted to come out of the game for a break. brooke hustled up and down the field, over and over again, and even came somewhat close to scoring a goal. brooke was so happy to be out there and never once complained about the rain. That made me SO happy and SO proud. Bob and Kaye were there to see brooke play, and i know brooke enjoyed having her very own cheering squad.
carl, mercedes, pierce and london arrived just as we returned home. i was so happy to have us all under the same roof, especially after car troubles nearly prevented them from coming at all. we visited, snacked, played, baked, decorated and had a great dinner out at el coyote. no matter how prepared i think i am for a party/event, i always have a long list of things to do at the last minute and not enough time to accomplish everything. this party was no exception. thankfully, i had a lot of extra hands to help me with all the last minute details. kevin, kaye and i were up until 2:00am with the final preparations. bless them for sacrificing sleep to help me pull everything together. i couldn't have done it without them.
