All in all it was a very quiet weekend here, no last minute emergencies requiring ER runs, auto mechanics or other assorted mishaps (all components of our last weekend). Instead we had what I would consider a "normal" weekend. Max had soccer on Saturday. Yes, Max is actually playing soccer and LOVES it! Our friend Wendy, who we have known since Max was born and is now officially part of the family, works as a child life specialist at Phoenix Children's and got Max involved in a wonderful program called Kids Playing for Kids. This organization allows chronically ill children to play a sport with their "typical" peers, an opportunity many of these children would never have. Kids Playing for Kids is run by a wonderful and patient man who just so happens to be Max's soccer coach -- I say patient because he's putting up with "Chatty Cathy" (aka Max).
On Saturday afternoon I was able to get everyone washed, coiffed and dressed and on time for professional family photos, no small feat but the results were great (examples to follow when Michele can download them). Today Ellie really wanted to take the dog to the park, it was great to spend a couple of hours doing nothing but enjoying a wonderful Arizona fall day.
Looking forward to a "normal" week.....(fingers-crossed!)

Yippee, I'm the first to leave you a comment. I'm glad you had an uneventful and enjoyable weekend. I look forward to keeping up with the Marangellas through your blog. But, now what will we have to email each other about throughout our work week?
Hugs.
