Weekend fun

This past weekend was a bit of a blur. Aaron played his first match of his last season at Salve on Saturday so we went up to Newport to watch him. Its amazing to see him play now and think back to that spring of his Senior year in high school, we visited the campus and watched a tennis match. I asked him if he thought he could play on this team "no way" was his answer. Now four years later he's the Captain and the number one player. Great to see that kind of growth in his game as well as in his confidence.

He looked really good playing, though the conditions were tough with gusty, variable winds. I can't recall ever seeing so many whiffs in tennis, the ball was getting blown all over the place. I'm sure it will be a tough season for the team, but I know Aaron will take good things from his college tennis career.

Sunday we went down to Sacred Heart to see Emily. Well we actually went down because she was having car troubles. Fortunately/unfortunately the car didn't make the noises that were concerning to Emily, but we had a really good time going out to brunch and generally talking with her. I see so much emotional growth in Emily. Its a strange transition, one minute you're talking to your kid as a child, and the next minute you're talking to a young adult. It seems to have happened so quickly. Update, I found a blurb on SHU's website that mentions Emily!

Sunday afternoon we got out for a road ride, it was cold again, but we soldiered on. I did an hour and a half of riding then came back to the house to pick up Dawn for another 2 hours of riding. Good stuff. I guess this has become our standard 2 hour loop. This area is really great for road riding, well except for the crappy road surfaces this time of year. Tolland has a lot of road work to do this summer!
