Weekend soccer and concert

Well, I had a great weekend. Valerie had her first soccer tournament and did she play like a pro!! She is on a Club team now and I think it will be good, even though I (and Paul) have mixed emotions. She is having a good time and learning a lot, but it becomes really competive, really fast, and at this age (3rd grade) I am not sure about that. She really holds her own though. The coach asked her to come, but said she would not get to play because of late registration. Well, he subed her in for someone, must have been impressed and played her for the most of 2 other games! She was very happy about it. Paul was in California with a friend. Her Grandma is dying and she wanted someone to go with her. He was sorry he had to miss her first "real" game! I assured him there are many many more to come. And he promptly replied, yeah, but only one first!

Sunday evening, I and some friends went to the Melissa Ethridge concert. It was wonderful. Out in the open in an incredibly beautiful venue....and the skies had cleared just for that I think. Beautiful moon and stars....the mts in the background! And such incredible music! Had a great time! What a voice. She seems as strong as ever.

Well, starting the 3rd week of school, and all is going well. Hope everyone is doing the same. Love you all.....Cindy/mom
