Hello? Anybody here? Alright, I know. Four months is a long time in between posts. Busy time of year. Since I last posted, the boys' baseball season ended. My rookie season of managing went pretty well, I think. We went 8-4 and finished second in the league. Not too bad, I guess. Collin's team also finished second. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride! Oh well. We'll get'em next year. Being a lifelong Redskin fan (and possibly a fool) I can say that every year and actually mean it down deep in my soul! But onward and upward. Football season is in full swing. I'm once again assistant coaching Collin and Matthew's team. Matthew is starting right guard and Collin is starting QB. Our first real game is this Saturday. Let the madness begin! I'll let you know how it goes. Aaron is growing like a weed. He starts preschool in two weeks. I can't believe he's four already. Time's a flyin'. I think he's going to be even more stubborn than Collin, and that's no small feet. (small feet, get it?!) oh well. He's still into the whole "cop" thing. Although now his allergies are in high gear, so the skull crackin' and the body slammin' have to be done with one hand. The other hand is always holding a tissue! Not the manliest cop I've ever seen, but whatever. Oh yeah. We're now a three cat family. Look for us on an episode of "Pet Hoarders" soon. I'll spare you all the details and choices we faced, but basically: July fourth weekend, stray cat, three boys, yada,yada,yada. We now have three cats. Lame story I know, but writing about the whole saga is about as exciting as paint drying. Anyway, that's all for now. I'm not even going to say "I'll try to post more often" I'm setting the bar low these days as far as the blog is concerned. Look at it this way. If I'm too busy to post, then things are going good and I've got work and other things to keep me busy. If I start posting every day, that means no work and clear out your basement. The Mattia's are coming to a town near you! Let's pray you don't hear from me for months!
