Soccer starts now, end of July. It’s 93 degrees and humid. Woohoo.
This is a wordpress iPhone test. Which wouldn’t post until I got home on the wifi… Grr…
As usual, food was plentiful and nobody went hungry.
Santa made his appearance, (later than planned) but that was OK. I don’t care who you are, you’re never to old for Santa 
Kris won the Euchre tournament, and also our one game of Texas Holdem. However, Maggie came in second, and in the money defeating her brother, mother and father in the process.
Lots of fun was had. Photos are posted in the Dishers Gallery on Google [Click Here]
Maybe next year we can get the whole clan together again.
Kudos to Claudine for all the baking, Angie the ham was delicious and so where the hankypanks.

Maria competed in her first meet today in Dayton/West Carrollton, Ohio at TWIGS.
As meets go, it was definitely the smallest we’ve ever been too. TWIGS does have a very nice facility. However they don’t have any level 3′s so we took our troop up there to compete against themselves. TWIGS had gymnasts in other levels, just not level 3, and I think we (CGA) brought 50 girls? (Doesn’t really make sense too me, in all my life playing sports, we never traveled somewhere to have our own team play themselves)
I think there should be a rule; if at least one other team in our level isn’t there, we don’t need to go, just send us the ribbons.
Any way, photos are in the Google Gallery. Same thing if you need/want a photo that’s more high-res than what is up there let me or C know.

as reported by my dad or “Grandpa”
While driving the girls from my house to your house, Maria asked me to ask Jane to get her some shoes with wheels.
I dialed the cell phone, handed it to Maria, and told her to tell Grandma Herself.
She talked to Jane and described what she was looking for, finished the call and gave me the phone back.
Maggie said, “I wish I knew how they make cell phones???
Maria said, “I wish I knew how they make cows!???

Well, the weekend was successful.
No kiddies died, though we did sustain one minor injury which I had absolutely nothing to do with.
Friday –Monday we all escaped injury. Michael and Maria got over their colds and for the most part Maggie and I avoided it. We got it a little but not nearly as bad as they did.
Thank you mom for helping out during the work hours and shuffling the kids to their day time destinations, I couldn’t have done it without you.
After hours we did the chores that needed to be done. Played with the kittens, hung out, did soccer practice and gymnastics, and on Sunday caught “Cars??? at the cheap theatre.
I discovered Maria is a bona-fide PS2 junkie. She needs help. We’re going to get her admitted into PS2A meetings ASAP.
Maggie is a very good cook for only 11 years old. She took care of us when we didn’t eat out. Pancakes rule!
It was all good until Maria’s Tuesday’s soccer practice. About 5 minutes into it Michael and Maggie went off to kick a soccer ball. Maggie came back to sit down next to me holding her arm in tears. From the looks of things it appeared she had either broken her arm or wrist. It wasn’t good, and it was swelling pretty quickly. I went and got ice from the concession stand and surveyed my options.
If it was broken it wasn’t broken badly, but she was in pain. Maria’s practice still had 45 minutes to do. Perhaps she just hyper extended her wrist; I’m not a Dr. though I have broken an arm and a few bones and Michael has put us through plenty of these experiences. So I’ve seen my share.
I thought I’d hold out for a bit and she how she reacted. It didn’t take long and she decided it was bad enough to go to the hospital.
I rounded up the stuff, and headed to Children’s Hospital and called my parents to have them meet me to watch Michael and Maria so I could stay with Maggie.
All told it went pretty smooth. From approximately a 6pm check in to a 10pm check out we were done. X-Rays negative for a break, though there is a possibility that she has a growth plate break in her wrist, it appears to be a bad sprain from a hyper extension.
She’s in a splint for 3 days to see how she does.
