Live from Denver: It's Soccer Night!

My Houston friends should love this:  Last night we were invited to come along to our first ever professional soccer game:  the Colorado Rapids vs. the Houston Dynamos.  CO got outplayed, but it was so much fun to watch!  Yeah, I can admit it.

The atmosphere was so much different than what we're used to (pro baseball).  The music was great -- must be what the young folk are listening to these days -- and I've never heard so much booing in my whole life!  And the acting: the replays were a hoot b/c they would show in slow motion where the player got hit (like the shoulder) & then you would look down on the field & they would be on the ground holding their ankle.  Sandy warned me they liked to act!  (:  Thank you so much for letting us tag along and providing the babysitting and jerseys too!

Fun! We have a minor league Baseball team here. Not too exciting. I wish we had soccer. Besides the city leagues, that is.

I just have to say that we are a little bitter against the Rapids. We went to a Real Salt Lake game like 2 years ago and they played each other. A player on the rapids totally had this cheap shot when an RSL player was injured. He acted like he was going to kick it out for the injury so the goalie was walking to the injured player and the Rapids guy shot it in. So cheap! I guess we can have a little family rivalry, haha.

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

By Sarah
Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

By Sarah
The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
