what a weekend!

friday was the first home game for MVHS....Mairin's Godparents, Morgan and Diny Underwood, came down from Pasadena to watch Mairin do her song thing....we had so much fun catching up with them...they just recently enrolled their youngest at USC in the honors program...and are now officially "empty nesters". And they are so proud of introducing their 3 kids to this world with all of them at top rate colleges and are going to be contributing members of our society. I admired the fact that they were looking forward to spending more time with each other, and being on the "outside" of their kids day to day decisions. Must come from confidence in their kids.
Sat. morning I tuned it to the station that was playing the Harvard vs. Brown game.
In between I was getting things organized for our trip to Channel Islands for the college visit with Colin and his friend Dillion and also his Mom.
I had to leave with 2 minutes left in the game...in order to catch the train up to Camirillo...Channel Islands. Harvard was down by a touchdown...H scored..and then had to make the 2 point conversion to win...they didn't make it.
Such a sorry state for our seniors...they took it really hard. Sonny actually sprained his ankle in the first quarter,,high ankle sprain..and played up until the
4th quarter. He is really trying to savor each and every game, practice and team meeting,,,knowing that this is all the last. WOW even though Sonny won't play this weekend.. he will be travelling and supporting his teammates. He really is enjoying this last and final year.
Kevin and I talked and as excited as we are to have him go out with a fantastic year..we are so hopeful that he finishes college with only some minor bumps and bruises..before he heads off to the corporate world.
thanks for staying in touch with us
