It's been a couple days since a post. Thursday night the Flyers pounded the Pens to get the series to 3-1. They play tomorrow at 3pm in Pittsburgh. Word is that Timonen should be back and Coburn's return is possible as well. Getting either one back would be a great boost.

Today started out with JT and Dylan playing soccer. They both played very well. Dylan got to play 3 quarters in goal. The first quarter ended without a single shot against him. Our guys pretty much dominated. JT was playing a decent game on defense.

Brian asked Dylan if he wanted to keep playing goal for the second quarter .... Dyl responded with an enthusiastic "YES!". By the time the second half rolled around JT started finding his confidence again. He played a tremendous half - made several rushes/passes....finally got paid off for all the hard work by scoring in the fourth quarter. Dylan went on defense the third quarter but kind of looked lost. Brian put him back in goal for the fourth which was probably a good idea. Dyl got a few more touches and got to do a couple cherry bombs. He's still very tentative when it comes to making that split decision - do I grab the ball or not - but I think that the more he plays, the more confident he gets, the quicker he'll make those decisions.

When we got home I worked on getting the pool going. The filter is running now but the water is VERY G - R - E - E - N !!!! I should have gotten it running sooner but what would spring be without a pool full of green water! So that's finally underway and next up I'm going to get a few more things planted in the garden. The three rows of radishes are coming up now and I have 3 zucchini plants in too. I think I'll get some more radishes going and maybe carrots and beets. I still haven't planted any corn! I need to get going before the summer is over!!!

Andrew Loomis is supposed to be coming over today to play with the boys but he's about 2 hrs overdue at this point. They're kind of just floating around going from soccer to Pokemon cards and then back to soccer. They're getting so big now. It's sad that they're not the little boys they used to be.
