You're Stressing Me Out, Papa

[Author's note: I began this post on the date listed–October 23, 2011–but I finished it December 31, 2013 as I went through and cleaned up my site.]Last Saturday, Lola scored her first (soccer) goal. But I missed it. I was helping my brother Steve move. Of course I'm a little bummed that I missed the exciting moment but it also doesn't surprise me that it happened when I wasn't there. I have a feeling that I stress Lola out and she's unable to just "let it all hang out" and go out there and have fun.[Another author's note: I will add that she hasn't scored a goal since then although I've missed plenty more over the years.
