Like father, like son

Danyel was so proud to take Carsten to his first Houston Dynamo (Major League Soccer) game this past Saturday in Dallas. Carsten is a little young to be interested in the game, but I think Danyel just liked the fact that he was there with him. He can't wait until Carsten is 3 and we can enroll him in soccer. He looks forward to coaching him and spending his weekends at the soccer fields. I just hope Carsten shares his passion for the game. It would be such a nice thing for them to share.

Anyway, we had a good time at the game despite the heat. Carsten stayed occupied with some toys and books and was a very good sport. We were lucky enough to be staying at the same hotel as the Houston team. The players and coaches were all at breakfast at the hotel on Sunday morning. Danyel was really excited to get to talk to a few of the players. They were all very nice and grateful for the support. As one of the players was leaving the dining area he shouted to Danyel, "Thanks for the support. Will we see you at the game back home next Saturday?" Without hesitation, Pookie said, "Yea, we'll probably be there." I knew at that point that there was no probably about it. I know exactly where we will be spending our Saturday afternoon.
