First Day of School

We may be in the middle of one of the hottest summers ever but the kids went back to school today. Tyler wished he had another week off to recover from his soccer tournament. Daphne said another month off would be better.

They re-did the bus routes and stops. Now we
have to walk much farther, whereas we were
only 3 houses away in previous years.

lower in the pecking order than previous years.

Soccer: Houston Youth Cup 2019

Soccer season kicked off last week. We all headed to the Woodlands this past weekend for the first tournament of the season. It was very hot and naturally the boys had to wear all black for all three games. They cooled off in the hotel pool on Saturday afternoon. We also took in the Houston Dynamo-Colorado Rapids soccer game on Saturday night. The Dynamo came from behind in the second half to tie up the game 2-2.
