Hi From Pittsburgh!!

I was thrilled that Erin enjoyed her trip to Pittsburgh over the summer and got to experience the best Parts of our wonderful city!! Alot of people take a few visits to appreciate all we have to offer, but Erin was able to do it in one!! "Erins Pittsburgh" was a great Tribute to our City. I was impressed that you enjoyed the Roller coasters at Kennywood the Thunderbolt has been a favorite of mine for 35 years and I have to say I have not ridden the Phathoms Revenge, I am too chicken!

As a mom I go to Kennywood and ride the Roller coaster's (just the Wooden ones) and Eat!! Nothing is better than Potato Patch Fries and a corn dog and a ride on an a Wooden roller coaster that is older than I am!!!

As a soccer family here is Pittsburgh, my kids all play for our school teams, Chartiers Valley and a local club the Pittsburgh Football Club, I can appreciate all the hard work you put into soccer and I can imagine how much you missed playing this fall. I can not wait for Spring so that I can continue to hear updates of your team! The one picture I am sending was taken of my oldest daughter Erika just as her name was called the first time she made the starting line up in a High School varsity game!! As you can tell from the picture she was very excited!! I imagine sometime in about 2011 that we will being the photo of you at your first varsity start!

Just know that we are praying for you here in Pittsburgh!
