Sport is where an entire life can be compressed 

into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime

can be felt on an acre or two of ground,

where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails

through a New York City park.  

Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint

and a common man become an uncommon hero,

where the past and the future can fuse with the present. 

Sport is singularly able

to give us peak experiences

where we feel completely one with the world

and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential. 

-George A. Sheehan

I've honestly never met another 10-year old boy who can throw, dribble, or hit a ball as well as this boy can. I know I sound like an insufferable, boasting older sister, but it's true. Mark is a Jack-of-all trades, he's good at everything he tries. Basketball, football, tennis, baseball, ultimate, hockey, you name it and he's done it with success.
I'm dreading the day when he outruns me, I'll never live it down ;)

hello, spring.

I. love. spring. with. a. fierce. burning. passion.

An  update on my life:
Lots of testing in school (blech) and lots of basketball playing with my Mark. Seriously, this kid is good. Or maybe I just stink. Probably a little bit o' both ;) I've played "around the world" with him at least ten times in the last three days and I haven't won once.
Yeah, that's kinda embarrassing but it's still fun, and in my defense, I don't shoot too horribly, he just shoots extremely well...

Have you gotten warm weather yet? Which photo is your favorite?

p.s. I just did a makeup tutorial for green eyes (Happy belated St. Patty's Day!) on my beauty blog, and don't forget to link up to Sunday Spark!

Update on stuff goin' on around here

Hey guys! Wow has this week been busy (or at least it seems like it)! Today I played with a highschool tennis team and babysat my cousins, ages 1 and 4. Yesterday Luke had a playoff baseball game and his team is in the championship!! The game was amazing!! There were five home runs in it and four of them were hit by our team! But the crazy thing was that one kid from Luke's team hit three of them. Wow.
