A Costume & A Cutie

I managed to finish Becca's Halloween costume this week and I think its perfect for her.

She even did a little dance to show how it moves.

Mike caught George flipping through Sport Illustrated awhile back. At first, he was annoyed with the interruption...

...but then he decided it was hilarious!


We're off to South Bend tomorrow to see some hockey, football and family. I hope you enjoyed this post and we'll have more pictures next week.

JDRF Walk

Last Saturday, after soccer in the morning, we head to Columbus to join the Coffeys in the JDRF Walk. Upon arrival, we were treated to a 5th grade football game. John was the quarterback.


Captain Coffey talks the officials.

John even scored a couple of touchdowns. The Pioneers won 27-0.

On Sunday morning we made our way to OSU Horseshoe for the JDRF Walk. Jake was ready to roll.

Here is the Coffey Crew as we started the 2 mile walk through campus.



George knew it was nap time and sacked out.

Clara and Harvey hand in hand.

We saw these two little girls in front of us and had to take a picture.

I don't really know what Patrick is doing here. It was a beautiful day but too early to see some anyone playing frisbee.

George needed some water after all the hard work.

Becca got Aunt Pat to carry her for awhile.

Some guys got really dressed up for the walk.

On our way home we saw an orange blimp. If you zoom in you can see that it says "Conan".
This was the first time we made it, but the Coffey Crew has been doing this walk for 8 years! Hopefully some money was raised and the cure that much closer. A special thanks to John and Esta Coffey for letting us crash and for breakfast.

Soccer

This weekend marked the end of the soccer season for us this fall. Here Pat warms up before the game.

Becca and George kick around on the other side of the field before the other team shows up.

Goal for George! And look at the way Becca's ponytail swings.

Mike gives some encouragement to the team.

Did you see me Mom?

There are Irish fan wherever we go!

Pat worked very hard to focus and keep his eye on the ball.

It's a little out of focus, but you can see Pat stopping the ball.

The Wild Cats make a run!

Mike helps Zoe with her shin guard with Coach George on his shoulders.

Go Pat go!

Becca made friends with another little girl.

George enjoyed hitting the trash can.

Post game talk. Mike is such a great coach.


The park district has medals for each kid. Patrick was very excited to get his.

We played Benjamin K's team so I took a picture of the boys together.

On to game 2 of the day. Becca's team warms up with coach Dad.

Waiting for the game to begin.

We played the Showalter's team so there was fun on the side lines as well. Here's Teddy.

George enjoying some cookies during the game.

Go for the goal Becca!

Here Pia makes a run but Cater stops her.

George waves "hi" from atop Dad's shoulders again.

I don't know why Becca is on the ground.

The Golden Cats go for the ball.

Pat S was nice enough to go get George for me.

It was a crazy soccer season and everyone had a good time. Last night Becca scored a goal at her last game, for which we are very proud. Good job to both the Wild Cats and the Golden Cats!
