Some of Taylor's latest...and she has more to come too!!
That's right Austin is getting on the move. I can't quite call it a crawl, but he is moving and he can cover the entire family room in no time. I will try to get video of it but he hasn't been cooperating. Probably because I take away whatever toy he crawled to so he can do it again. It appears that he doesn't like when we take the toys away, go figure.
Since Brian was such a genius in creating the Ellie Music Video, here is Austin's. Same scenario, same song...Is that some kind of copyright infringement?? Sorry bro.
so my bro is two people away from getting his...It is time for you people to help me get mine!!

Adam Jewell, they call him the skywalker, with a jump serve. His serve is one of the best on the beach.
One of my new favorite players, Phil Dalhauser...This dude is 'sick'. This was taken during the Dalhauser-Lucena vs Roumain-Ring match. Dalhauser-Lucena won in 3 games 16-14 in the third. Dalhauser blocked Roumain off his eyeball to tie the 3rd game. That was the best match I saw, unfortunately I didn't see any matches on Saturday or Sunday as I was in Colorado.
Roumain is the biggest man on the beach.
Thanks to all my peeps that were able to show up for the near-Cinderella story. Especially to my wife, who not only was there but has allowed me to realize the dream of playing in the AVP. I know it is only one, but now I can forever say that I played against the best in the AVP.
A sidenote...I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to play against my idol Karch Kiraly, but I did get to meet him. He had just arrived at Chicago's O'Hare airport on his way to the broadcast booth for the NBC broadcast. Bartek, the guy I play with, knows Karch and introduced me to him. It was an extension of an unbelievable weekend.
Thanks to my family that always believed I had this in me...Hopefully it will only go up from here, we can start with getting in again and maybe getting one victory!!

Check the link above...You will see my name at the top of the AVP Winner's Bracket!!! Okay we are just beneath the top, the #32 seed playing the #1 seed. Unfortunately the number 1 is not Karch Kiraly, apparently he reinjured his shoulder and is not playing at all. Well, bring on Sean Scott and Todd Rogers, I think they only finished second or third last year in Chicago, no big deal.
WAHOO!!!!!
