Speechless

As hard as it may be to do, today I was completely speechless. James has been playing hockey all year and has improved immensely as the year went by. He just tries so hard when he plays and there is no one who outhustles him. Well tonight took the cake. In short order, his team won 9-3. He scored 7 goals. It was just amazing to watch it unfold. He's been practicing 'moves' to shake and fake one way and then go another. Well, today he made the goalie look sick a couple times and stuffed the puck home. One time he faked left and the goalie bought it so bad the guy wasnt five feet from him when he just slipped it in the net. I just wish the season wasnt ending so I could watch him do it some more. On Tuesday he will be trying out for the next level hockey team. He was somewhat nervous about the tryout but i'm thinking there might not be a need to worry.
This morning the family met up and went to church together because it was Grammy Franny's birthday. She would have been 84 today. The two youngest were a little under the weather this morning and didnt quite make it. After the mass we all ended up over NeeNee's house for a party to celebrate GF's bday.
Umple Eddie came back from Baltimore today and met us for dinner over Nana and Doe's house. The signature spaghetti and meatballs were cooking so we were happy to put a dent into the mass of food.
