Goodbyes

My sister, brother-in-law, two nieces and nephew came into town this week from Florida. We had such a fun time together - they all got to meet Grayson for the first time! Sadly, I think this will be the last time I get to see them before we leave for Amsterdam in October (though my sister is in denial). Even more sadly, I have another nephew didn't make the trip - he is still in Haiti waiting for the government to "release" him to his family. Amanda and I won't get to meet him for a couple years...

It is bizarre that we are already in "goodbye" mode.

Another Netherlands match today. Playing Russia today at 2:30pm on ABC. No excuses. Watch.

Two Updates (one good, one bad)
First, the good news: when is a goodbye not a goodbye? When we decided to bite the bullet this morning and buy plane tickets to Florida in September to see my sis & fam. YEAH!
Second, the bad news: Holland got embarrassed today by the Russians 3-1. That was a disappointing way to end a great tournament. There's always the world cup.

Too bad the boys in Orange couldn't pull it out! That was depressing...

I wasn't ready for a real goodbye. It wasn't denial - - it was hope! Love you guys!
