Bet you are wondering what the title "Football, Volleyball and Fleetwood Mac" mean??? Got 'cha wondering? Well, the title is one part about family and the other about the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks.
Football - Alex is currently at practice for his first set of scrimmages Saturday. He can not contain his excitement! We will see how it goes as according to one of his coaching, he might not get must rest time and may be in the game the majority of the time both offense and defense (He has a very proud father, that's for sure, who may be somewhat bias). So we are pumped for Saturday! I will take pictures, of course, and post them. Elyse has had her first week of volleyball practice and is loving it also! She was telling me that her finger tips hurt as they do finger tip push ups (for setting) every day. She asked me to do some with her and I just laughed. Told her I'd embarrass her. hehe The second day of practice though someone kicked her toe at school, she had flipflops on, and it ripped her toenail back. She is in a little pain, but she is toughing it out. We are very proud of her also.
Now to "Fleetwood Mac"- I was at our school inservice last week and the speaker is incredible! She is motivational and you could listen to her forever. Anyway, she showed us the video below from YouTube. It is about some elementarykids from PS22 school - located in very low economical area, many kids don't graduate, lots of gangs etc. Anyway, their teacher had them sing "Landslide" by Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac as a dedication to a teacher and put it on YouTube. I guess Stevie Nicks herself saw the video or heard about it, invited all the kids to her concert at Madison Square Gardens in New York, and had them not only sit in front, but go up on stage when she sang "Landslide". Wow! Yes, Ken, I did get teary eyed! Just thought I would share it. . .
