All About Andrew!

Andrew has been a VERY busy little boy lately. He had his spring band concert on Thursday night--probably his last band concert ever, since he isn't continuing with band next year. :-(
He is also in three sports right now--track, soccer, and baseball! That keeps him quite busy, yet he still seems to find time to squeeze in a few hours of X-Box here and there!
~~~
I snapped a few pictures of Andrew during his band concert. Here he is, intent on the music!~~~
The Riverview Middle School Seventh and Eighth Grade Band--well, part of it, anyway! Look for the good-looking trumpet player in the middle!
~~~
The sixth grade band also plays at the concert, and I take that opportunity to take some snapshots of Andrew and some of his friends. Andrew knows I do this, and he is kind enough to oblige me with some lovely expressions. Here is a sample of what I (and the rest of the concert's audience) saw...

Andrew had 2 soccer games on Saturday here in Barron. It was VERY cold and VERY windy--typical soccer weather! Unfortunately, Barron lost both of their games. :-(
The first game was a loss of 1 to 2, and the second game was a loss of 1 to 5--that was ugly! I am happy to say that Andrew scored the lone goal of the second game for Barron!!! Way to go, Andrew!!!

Here is Andrew working his magic with the soccer ball...

I wish I would have been a millisecond quicker on the shutter with this picture...
This is Andrew's goal-scoring kick in the second game. He dribbled through the defenders and did a sliding kick to send it past the "keeper" (that is the goalie for all of you non-soccer folks out there!)! Anyway, that is Andrew on the ground just as he kicked the ball into the goal--you can see all of the defenders watching the ball as it goes in!

Austin was helping coach. His friend, Erik Kong (from Hong Kong) is also assisting the coach. Here are the guys on the sidelines...
Erik, Austin, Erv (the coach), and Andrew
Tomorrow night, Andrew has his last track meet. He has been running the mile, but he hopes to get in on the 400m relay tomorrow night.
~~~
Austin has a game tomorrow night in Amery. I have yet to get to one of his games. All of his home games have either been cancelled or have been rescheduled at the last minute to the opposing team's field. Because of my crazy work schedule with the new location opening, I haven't been able to make an away game. :-( I am hoping to get to his home game on Tuesday night.
~~~
Abby is busy planning a party for Friday night for herself and nine of her closest friends! Not for any reason, she just thinks she should have a party! The boys will go home at nine, and the girls will spend the night. I can't wait until it is over--she has been driving me nuts for a month with the planning of this thing!!! :-)
~~~
Have a great week!!!!

Looks like we will have lots of games to watch this summer! Way to go Andrew. I was sad to hear you are giving up your horn.
