Families are like fudge... mostly sweet with a few nuts. Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

Sports and Family

I was thinking about it tonight and most of my best memories involve Tracy, my Dad, and sports. Not all of them mind you, getting married, times with my kids, meetings, home activities and time with my family all are big but alot the best times in my life have Tracy, my Dad, and sports prominently involved. Playing football in Shanghai, going to Shanghai Sharks games, watching the Superbowl at 7 in the morning, going to Yankees-Red Sox games, 24 oz Zima's and sunflower seeds, wearing a Red Sox cap to a Yankees-Royals game and drawing more attention than the actual game, watching the Azzurri win the World Cup and dancing around the barn in joy, playing basketball in Jersey, playing football in Manhattan, going to the race track and winning an exacta (won 75$ on a 1$ ticket), being in goal for our Azzurri teams' 5-0 trashing of the French team, wiffle ball games in the summer, watching Pats games and "el muey grande nachos", going to the Pats playoff game, I think I could keep going indefinitely. Anyhow all that to say I love my family and look forward to playing football next weekend, more Yankees and Red Sox this season, more John Sterling , more Euro 2008. and hopefully I'll be able to spend that time with Tracy and my Dad too.

Happy Birthday Brady Boy!

This is a little late, but with everything that has happened in the last week, I ran out of time to make this special post for my birthday boy....Happy birthday Bradyn!!!
You are growing and learning so much, it's so amazing to see what you have learned this last year. You are such an amazing boy and there are so many cute things about you, I don't know where to start....let's see....you always carry around the toy that you are most attached to, you laugh when you know you are in the wrong, you take drying your hands too seriously, you have taken on reading very well, you are such a cuddly little one, you have the cutest smile that you put on, food and snacks make you very happy, your little boom box of a voice is even more special when you sing, your highlight of all activities is when you hear the word "playmobil", you love burning off energy with your fast feet and speed, you love reading Word stories that involve whales or the fish family, the outdoors is a whole new world for you, you get up in the wee hours of the morning to be with your baby sister and you spend many happy moments of every day with your older brother that you love to bits. I could keep going on, but there's too much to fill here not to mention all that you have learned this last year of your growing life. We love you so much and are excitedly looking forward to many more happy days with you in our lives. XXX!
