Soccer Egos

Well, the athlete side of our family - Jon and Ani - are in their glory lately. Ani is running middle school track. She'll do distance, which in track and field is a mile run, but she kicks butt at it. I can't wait for meets. It's the first time in an actual school sport and her new life of practice every day til 5 is tiring! She comes home muddy, tired, and HUNGRY! This girl is eating major dinners right now!

Jon, the old man, is playing spring soccer league in a local and huge men's league called, appropriately, La Liga, as it is mostly made up of Hispanic players. You must see the league blog this week, as it details the upset victory made by Jon's team (Romania - in the yellow jerseys) of the best team in the league. If you scroll all the way through the article, you will actually see a picture with Jon in it so you can believe that soon-to-be 44-year-old Jon is really doing this.

I, as the wife, must nervously report that thus far two team members are out for the season with surgery-requiring knee injuries. I am humbly asking Jon to be kinda careful, and if he happens to be hurt, just to try not to sigh and whine too much!

Ciao!
