Abby, Zoë and Enzo

Using the Big Pool

I took the girls to the pool this morning as well. They have been doing great, growing and learning new stuff in the water each day. Today they tried getting in and out of the big pool by themselves, very controlled and slowly. Towards the end of the swim practice, they wanted to jump into the big pool and swim to the ladder by themselves. They both amazed me with how well they are doing. Abby is slightly more comfortable advancing in the water this quickly, while Zoë is more reserved. It is crazy because Zoë is a better underwater swimmer and glider than Abby at this stage. Abby just has less fear right now than Zoë. Regardless, they are both doing a super job. Check out these videos. Please ignore my cheer-leading. :)

Chris, Brazilian football is as large if not larger a commercial enterprise as American football - worldwide.

This is from a 1999 NYTs article about the Corinthians, Sao Paulo's largest football team: ''Soccer in Brazil is like baseball, basketball and football put together,'' said Charles Tate, the firm's president. The transaction gives Hicks, Muse all licensing rights of the club's name, enabling it to sell items like caps or T-shirts emblazoned with the Corinthians insignia as well as the opportunity to negotiate deals for the TV broadcast of games."

Maybe just a Black and Gold onesie :)

Can't wait to meet Enzo and see the girls. I miss you guys.

@Uncle Matt - Thanks but no thanks. If you wanted to get him a Brazilian soccer team jersey, he might wear that, but as you know, we don't support commercialized sports.

@Celeste - Please don't encourage him. :)

I'm so proud of you two. You'll be body surfing in the ocean soon.

P.S. Steelers won in OT last night. Where should I send Enzo's t-shirt.
