Thirteen… PLUS 6.6
By Margot | October 13, 2008
Just adding a number to Neil’s post below. Sam’s VMA is 6.6! NORMAL, NORMAL, NORMAL! I’ll post a Sam update tomorrow after blood check. He had a rough soccer game on Saturday and has lost more of his hearing per his audioligy exam last week-sucks - but he had a good day at school today and is in good spirits.  His VMA numbers are awesome. Wohoo! Neil’s post on Andy below…..
The beauty of having a blog is that we’ll be able to look back 20 years from now when all 3 boys have wonderful girlfriends and solid educations, and relive some of the great times we are having. Saturday was one of them. Usually “soccer Saturday” is stressful as juggling 2 kids while watching the 3rd child play incurs more juggling and less watching. Sam and Andy had overlapping games so Andy chose me to chaperone his game 🙂 I vowed “no cameras” since I am often so caught in documenting moments, that I miss the moments.
 All I can say is that my budding Pele scored 13 goals — each followed by a distinctive dance that made me and the crowd laugh. My favorite celebration was Michael-Jordan-channelling-Charo dance where Andy’s tongue is sticking out & curled, hands are on hips, and he’s dancing a frantic two-step. 8 goals in the first half; battlefield promotion to a different field followed by 5 more. Andy truly loves running and I actually saw him pass the ball with his right foot (he’s so strongly left-footed that this is a true shock). So, Andy — when we read this together 20 years from now, I just want you to know how much you made me laugh & smile on Saturday.
Dad.

Thirteen goals is truly outclassing the field. And I love to hear of little guys who aren’t afraid to use their off foot. Go Andy Go!

13???? That’s crazy.
My U-10 team is 0-6 this year, but I’m learning and we’re finally coming together as a team.

Great news on the VMA and soccer goals!!! Very impressive from your budding Pele. We totally understand and emphathize with the juggling/chasing of siblings during soccer or basketball games. Sometimes it seems like it would just be easier to leave the little ones home and take turns to watch the game. I love you comment about documenting for the future and all the hopes you have for the future. now I think you might be a little optimistic to think that all 3 boys will have great girlfriends!!! If you pull that off I want to know the trick although at this point just letting Bronson be old enough for ANY girlfriend would be good enough : ).
With hope and prayers, Leann
