With the deadline for CCHS senior portrait submissions around the corner, Nico and I did a photo shoot yesterday and this morning he selected this image as his favorite. While I enjoy taking these pictures I am also left with a sense of melancholy. I miss both my little boys, GaGa and NuNu (toddler Maya-speak for the names of her brothers). Nothing left now but men.

My calf strain is finally healing. I missed my third soccer game in a row but feel confident I will be ready to play next weekend. It remains to be seen, however, what kind of shape I will be in after nearly a month on the disabled list.
