Carter hurt his tensor fasciae latae on 9/30 so he didn’t play in his game on 10/7. Raine’s game was cancelled because the team she was scheduled to play doesn’t have enough players to field a whole team and they are tired of losing 11-0.

10/14 the Tornados got kicked out of the league because the soccer association put girls on our team who were too old for the bracket we were placed in. All of our remaining games were cancelled and the games we had played were changed to a forfeiture. The Tigers played us in a friendly since they had a bye this week.

Daddy’s 46th birthday

After Daddy rode as many miles as he is old, the kids gave him his present so that he would know how he was going to be spending his birthday. Raine picked Daddy’s present activity and Carter picked the treats to go with it.
