He's the Man!

We got a call today from Connor's soccer club and they informed us that Connor made the All-Star team!! He's so excited and we're so excited and proud. They have a 4-game tournament on November 17th and they'll be practicing hard twice a week until then, and learning real game strategies. Up until now, the boys have played 3-on-3 with a goalie, but the All-Star team will be playing with a full 8-man (boy) team and learning positions. It's so exciting to watch Connor play and really fun to see how he excels. I wish everybody could be here to share this with him, but we'll try to take lots of pictures and video.


**On a separate note-we're not burning up. The fires are definitely not far away, but they are not near enough to put us in danger as of now. The air is obviously totally gross and ashy and it's kind of orange outside. The boys don't have work and Connor doesn't have school for the rest of the week. So we're just hunkered down, watching the news and taking it day by day. If things get too hairy, we have things ready to go and we'll head to Vegas. But for now, we're okay and staying put. We'll keep y'all posted if anything changes. Peace.

Justin and I have been thinking about you guys every day with those awful fires down there! It's so sad. We hope things start to change soon.
But as for Connor... he really is the man! That is so great for him. Is he totally excited? Tell him good luck on the all-star team. We wish we could be there to see him:(

He's so awesome! He still doesn't make me want to have a boy, but he's awesome! Tell his congrats, from the millionth person probably. I SO wish we could see him play in person but we love seeing the pics and video. Keep em coming! Love you guys! Try not to breath in too much of that nasty air :)
