bike ride for Amalia

The kids and I have been riding the huckleberry trail all summer. Typically, Amalia rides her bike and Camilo rides in the stroller. Usually I push him but sometimes Lisa comes with us and pulls Camilo behind her bike. Today I put the GPS on Amalia so we could see how fast and far she rode. Here is her track.

Amalia's soccer season

This fall Amalia played in the Under-6 soccer league. Her team, the Green Gators, were great and they had a lot of fun. I finally remembered to bring the camera to her last game, which was tonight. Here are some pics, in no particular order.

Awards after the game... including green cupcakes!

Camilo didn't want his pic taken.
Amalia scores a goal!
So fast she blurs in pics.
And scores again!
OK, I like watching sometimes.
Practicing kicking goals.
Fast!
Which way should I go?
Nice pass.
Practicing dribbling.

Finger painting fun!

a little update

This has been a crazy fall and I haven't updated as planned. I was gone to Ecuador for two weeks. Then Lisa was in Panama for a week and now she is in D.C. for a week. Then she goes to Phoenix for a week. So lots of traveling and general hectic life. But its all good. Amalia is doing great in school and loves her dance class on saturday mornings and soccer on friday evenings. I got to be a substitute coach a couple of times and that was fun. Camilo plays in the dirt while Amalia plays... he seems to think construction trucks are more fun than watching his sister play soccer.

Amalia in school

Amalia has been getting some VIP story readers recently.

You can see her about 5sec into this video.

Here is Camilo on his running bike.
