Snuggles.


I don't really love Spring, but these blooms make it so much nicer.


Memorial Day "Murph" crew. While I was doing this, the boys went to Pinelawn for the annual service.


Last weekend was also State Championships. 4:00pm games every day Saturday - Monday. Sunday's game was during a downpour. It was crazy. Here's the really insane thing -- we couldn't finish the game due to thunder and lightening, so have to play the final 5 minutes on Saturday! The scores are so close that 6 of the 8 teams are in qualification for the Semi-Final game, which will be played later that day.

It's been a very sad week. At Wednesday's soccer practice, the boys and parents found out that one of the families was in a very bad car accident. The 16-year old was driving himself and 4 of his brothers (it's a family of 10) to practice, like they do almost every day. He lost control of the car and it flipped several times. Three of the brothers were ejected from the vehicle. Three were released from the hospital later that night, but two are still in critical condition. One is the 13-year old and the other is C's friend who plays on the other U15 team, but who played with him in the Fall and Winter seasons. His prognosis sadly is the worst it could be. It's heartbreaking, to say the least. I hope for an absolute miracle for the two still fighting, and hope for strength for the parents, the brother who was driving, and entire family.
