Busy Weekend

I thought that weekends were for rest! This weekend I have traveled 8 hours to watch 2 soccer games. Saturday Nathan had a soccer tournament in town and Michael had a game 2 hours away. So I got Nate to his tournament and arranged with a friend transportation home. Then I took off for Mike's game - 2 hours there, 1 hour game, 2 hours back. Nathan's team won all three games of the tournament, 2-1, 3-0, 2-0. Michael's team won 3-1. Then on Sunday Michael had another game 2 hours there, 1 hour game, 2 hours back. This time they annihilated the opposing team 13-1. On our way home we stopped at the Renaissance Fair where Michael was so enamored with the wooden swords and daggers that he just had to have one of each. So of course he bought one of each. They are plain wood, unpainted, unadorned, but he has major plans for decorating them. He is going to paint them silver, add some pattern on the handle and call them perfect. Nathan found the Fair interesting, but he liked the one that we went to in Germany better, where they had made a mechanical dragon that the brave knights fought and eventually killed. After our adventure filled weekend I feel like I have been run over by a bus!

Just a Quick Update

I have survived my second week of the semester! I have already had my first test and am thrilled at my results. (I missed one on the test) Nathan has had 2 soccer games already. His team is 1-1. He is a REALLY good defensive player. Michael will have his first game on Saturday, 12 September. Michael also is a great defender, but he LOVES to play goalie and he is really good at that. But then again, Michael is really good at midfielder too. Nathan knows that he HATES to play offensive. he just doesn't like the pressure of having to score, he would rather be the one preventing you from scoring! I don't remember if I mentioned it before but Barry is helping to coach Nathans team at the school. He really enjoys the time he spends with Nate.
