Last September, while celebrating a friend/neighbor's birthday, I had the good fortune to meet a very nice man from Uruguay. We spent the evening playing pool, telling stories, and generally enjoying each other's company for the evening. Last month we bought a wonderful home together. I am so lucky to have found Leo. He has been a wonderful role model for the boys and has been my balance this past year. I suppose he is the Yin to my Yang (or is it the other way around?).
In January we bought Zee. A very cute and spunky white Chihuahua.
He is in addition to Tessa, Leo's very crazy Pomeranian and his escape-prone Siberian Husky, Danka.
The summer was full of soccer tournaments for all of the kids, while Jesse took a break. He had us all convinced that he was finished with soccer. Then, at the very last second (literally the last second, tryouts had already occurred) he got a call inviting him to play on the JV team at Barlow. He had a sudden change of heart and decided to play. I'm so glad he did.
Casey is also playing football this season and plans to participate in basketball, wrestling, and track also. This is in addition to the club soccer that he is playing. So far, he has manged to finish his homework on time and get to bed at a decent hour. This leaves little time for video games, though. Oh darn.
Tianna made the Varsity squad at Barlow and has been focusing on that until Club soccer begins in January.
Kevin is still playing club soccer and is as crazy as ever. He and Casey are taking a Spanish class before school and are learning so quickly. It won't be long before every one in this house can speak Spanish.
Last night, Leo and I went to one of our favorite restaurants, Alessandro's, for our first anniversary. The past year has flown by, but it has been so wonderful.
I look forward to another wonderful year with my family and friends.
Heaps of Love
