Game on Friday

For anybody thinking about attending the La Crescent game on Friday, I need to tell you that I can't make any guarantees about how much Tony will play. His action has been spotty, but he has made it count. In the first two games he had 125 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns (playing tailback) He also intecepted a pass. But last week he saw very little action, so its hard to predict what's going to happen this week.

He'll definitely be out there for special teams, but the amount of regular offense or defense he will play is hard to predict. I just wanted to let people know ahead of time. Its a lot different than JV where he would be out there every single play.

Both teams are 3-0 so it should be a good matchup.

We're back from Denmark

I hope it's been a good summer for everyone (excluding quality assessments of the weather). We got back just before school started up and brought back a wirehaired girl dachshund, Millie. To those on facebook, this is old news, and yes, she's the cutest puppy on earth ;-)

I would like to share some sad news..

My mother passed on at the end of July. The last couple of months were very hard and had little quality of life in them. She was extremely brave and did not complain at any given time, it was the rest of us who thought it very, very hard to watch and only be able to do so much to help.

The last two days she was in the hospital, due to no lung capacity left. The worry was that she would suffocate but in the end her heart gave out and she slept peacefully the last hours.

After 3 months in Denmark it's weird and nice at the same time to be back here. We have not missed the humidity and the hot weather. We're all sorry to have missed all the events of the summer with you guys and look forward to seeing you all again ;-)
