He did it!

Hallelujah! He made the "A" team. I was on pins and needles and obsessively checked the website every fifteen minutes for updates. Once I saw that his number was posted, I started to shake. WHAT? Shake? I think I was one hundred times more nervous about this than Brock was. I had no idea that as a parent I would take on the kid's nerves. And this is just the tip of the iceberg....what happens when we are waiting for SAT scores, college acceptance letters, marriage proposals and birth announcements? I think I will need to be heavily medicated.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

Yay for Brock!! What a great accomplishment! I don't know what it's like to be a parent, but I bet you are totally full of pride right now. Howie's good friend Dan is the SVP of Marketing and Communications at Major League Soccer - maybe we could get something special signed for Brock in celebration? I can always ask if you want. Happy day! ~Heidi

Erin, that is just the half of it. As a grandparent you get to join in all of the joyous events, but you still worry about things just as much as if they were your own kids. Or, perhaps it is because we have such awesome grandkids!

Thanks all! And Heidi, your anonymous comment didn't freak me out....I knew it was you. :) That would be very cool if Howie's friend could do something.

Have a great long weekend everyone!
