The Fat Lady Is Singing...

Yes, soccer season has finally come to a conclusion under gray skies on a cold, damp Saturday in late October. Lauren (seen shivering at left) closed out the fall season with a 6-4 loss. It wasn't all a disappointment, though. A party in the comfy confines of Mama's Pizza made it easier to stomach — and the dads were happy, too, because they could watch the Nebraska football game.

Next up on the sports front: Lauren is taking on gymnastics while Emily is signed up for basketball. Dad is coaching, but Emily was drafted by the other coach.
