Awesome! She looks very elegant/poised in those pics.


My daughter scored her first goal in soccer on Saturday. It's actually a pretty big deal, because she is normally a very timid player. Always passes the ball to someone else as soon as she gets it. Unfortunately for me, this was the first time (in two years of playing) I ever missed one of her games, so I missed it. :sniff:

Instead, I was staying at home with our boy, playing Legos. :) He and I hadn't spent enough time together recently, so I was doing that when our daughter scored.

So I was happy to be playing legos with my son, and happy that my daughter scored, but sorry I missed it. Two out of three ain't bad.

awesome photography, too! stages are so hard to shoot sometimes.

Awesome on the first goal Glatt! there will be many more to follow i'm sure. usually it just takes the realization that they really can do it.
i missed my kid's first goal too. but i was there. i was dealing with other players when i heard the whistle and he came running at the bench with the biggest smile on his face. i missed his second the same way. he'll never hear that part of the story.

awesome pics jinx!

I can see only jinx genes in that gal, no LJ... where are the LJ genes?

I was thinking the same thing.

I also have to jump on the bandwagon praising the pictures. I've never taken such a nice picture of a kid on a stage. It's always too dark to get a crisp one or one that isn't all noisy because I cranked the sensitivity all the way up.

Believe it or not!

Great performance, great pictures!

jinx genes? check.

that is a good thing right? i mean LJ's a fiiine looking man and all, but do you really want a daughter that looks like him if the jinx option is available?

yes,yes, of course that is piggish. we love our children regardless of how they look, but seriously. if i had a daughter i would pray for there to be no outward evidence of my genes.

they got my hair?

so that's where it went.


yeahyeahyeah. glass house and all that.

Here at work, we usually get "gift certificates" for $$ off of dinners at local restaurants, in the mail, for free. Yesterday we had several for Don Pablos'. Usually, I toss them cause most of the guys here don't really use them. So my son (16 yr) takes them to school today - sold them to kids at school for $1 ea and even sold one to a sub-teacher for $2.

Here are my kids with their ribbons from swim championships -and the oldest two both won the "high points" (MVP) trophies for their age groups. The little guy got his first "place" ribbon (top 16) from a championship meet. And it wasn't just because there were few enough relay teams that all participants placed -they actally beat one team! :lol: (he just turned 6 and the youngest age category is 8 and under, so it'll be a few years before he starts seriously winning. But he will, if determination is anything to go by. He can swim all 4 strokes and has an awesome start off the blocks!)

Gooooo little monsterlings! :D *cheers*

hip hip hooray!

Just saw the latest set of pics. Way to go, mini-jinx, Glatt's daughter and moster's spawn!!
