Mom and Derek (First Day @ Kindergarten)

Here's a great shot of Elena and Derek at his first day of kindergarten. Derek was not scared or worried at all. In fact, when we walked him into his class and got him settled in, he told us we can go now. That boy has no fear of anything much less "The first day of school". Mom even held it together and did not shed a tear although both mom and dad felt a bit of sadness rolled up with pride.

Derek & Jimmy 1st Day of School

Here's a shot of the Jimmy and Derek walking to their bus stop on the first day of school. Mom of course got them matching back packs (Yankees). I love the the picture and how it captures the two brothers venturing off to new adventures. Because of their age difference, this will be the only year in which both Jimmy and Derek will be in the same school in the same year.

Reverse

How about some trickery...the play was designed to run right with a reverse to the left. Derek takes the ball and hands it off to his teammate and then carries out his assignment to the fullest. Pretty good play from a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds.

Derek's Reception

Derek caught the first ball for his team this Saturday. After making the catch he made one little move and darted down the sideline but was eventually caught by a quicker kid. It was an awesome play.

Giants Win!

The Giants win (6 - 2) on a last second play desperation play with some fancy footwork from a player name Steven.

Game Winner

Derek not only scored two TDs in one game but this one was the game winner!

Derek Scores his First TD

Derek scores his first Touchdown!

Jimmy Hustles

Jimmy never quits on this play and pulls the flag with a dive.

Jimmy's Interception

Jimmy shows off his ball-hawking skills while he and
the rest of the Giants defense pitched a 14-0 shutout
against the Eagles...

1st Day of Football...

Man, it has been SHAMEFULLY long since we have
updated this site.... I am going to try and blog more
often with more updates...

This was our first day for flag football. The boys
did awesome! They had a great time too. I am going
to try and post some video of the games...

This first one is an AWESOME run play by Derek. His
vision on the field is uncanny! Looks like he was
born with the "stuff".
