Football Season Begins for Sean
August 1, 2006
Today is the first day of football practice for Sean. He is pretty excited as it is his favorite activity. He will again be playing in the Mighty Mite division which is tackle football for 8-10 year olds.
Last year he played Guard on offense and Defensive End on the defensive side. No telling where he will end up this year, but the line is probably a good bet, since he likes to hit and isnt exactly fast.
With monsoonal rains coming down everyday for the last two weeks here, the football field ought to be pretty muddy. I suspect, however, that the first week or so of practice will be more conditioning than anything else. After last season, Sean had committed to a workout program before the season began to make sure he was in shape. Well, that never happened, but he has been doing dance (break dance and hip hop) a couple of nights a week which has definitely helped him report looking trimmer than last year.
Savannah will also be starting her cheerleading practices this week for the football season. Suzanne is once again the cheer coach.
New Xbox 360 Arrives
July 24, 2006
Finally, the new (refurbished) Xbox 360 has arrived. It actually didnt take all that long to arrive, but Sean and I were really hoping to have it last week for our time alone at home while the girls were at the Showstoppers National Dance Finals.
If you remember, mine died a couple weeks back and Microsoft was nice enough to send me another unit despite mine being long out of warranty. They didnt have to do that and it actually impressed me, which isnt easy.
So, we unpacked the new Xbox 360, hooked up my old hard drive, attached all the cables and turned it on. We had to have the Xbox 360 re-connect with all the wireless controllers which wasnt surprising. Other than that, no issues as she came right to life. All of the profiles and downloads I had done prior were still solidly intact on the hard drive.
Let the games begin!!!
