What Our Holy Week Looks Like

We've been honored to play surrogate family to this amazing young athlete this week.
















Soccer runs in our blood, and my kids are used to the long games, the hours of sunlit afternoons perched on bleachers. They come prepared.





















We are always watching family. My boys, my sister, my girls...

This time we are the stand-in family. To help a Mama who has become a dear friend. To ease her worry and provide close support... and cookies.

:P





















We cheered on this corner kick goal. And on the penalty kick goal. And the very first goal. With a hat-trick, Paddy was the man of the day!






This is, by far, my favorite shot...

















Sports and family. Like rhythmic heartbeats, they go hand in hand.

Even 2000 miles away.
