Quiet Morning

I really relish having the quiet house to myself in the mornings, at least for a little while. Kendle is usually our early bird, but on mornings like today she is still asleep and it's nice to have a little me time before the chaos of the day starts. My children are not quiet, so if one is awake it's usually safe to say the other will be soon too.

We let them stay up a little later than usual last night because Riley got home from his tournament and they hadn't seen him since Friday morning. The kids were so excited and practically mobbed him at the door. I was glad too, it's hard flying solo - especially when you have a busy body like the Morgster who likes to take off running down the middle of your street and you have to do the 50 yard dash to catch up to him. Luckily for me, I'm not in that bad of shape as of yet, but a few more months and I won't be able to do that anymore.

The U-14 girls club soccer team Riley coaches won the championship at their tournament in Portland, so he was pretty excited about that. He said his girls outscored the other teams 28-1 or something like that. He enjoys the girls good attitudes and how coachable they are, he told me "it's nice to coach people that actually listen to you and do what you tell them". I had to laugh at that. The parents are all super nice and ultra supportive as well which makes a big difference. They all got medals from the tournament and he gave his to Kendle. She thought that was pretty cool. For Family night tonight we are going to go down to the fields and play some soccer and get her warmed up for her soccer season coming soon. She loves to do things like that with her dad - I hope it stays that way.

Well I had better get some breakfast going, and start getting ready for swim lessons. Or not - this weather isn't too pleasant outside for being in the cold water.
