Fore!Kids

Well, I'm starting a new job! A few weeks ago on one of our TV shows, the new President of the Fore!Kids Foundation was a guest. Well this past Friday night, he called to tell me he had a position open on his staff and wanted to meet with me to see if I would be interested in it. I met with him yesterday morning and then he had me meet with one of the board members and last night he called to offer me the job, which I have now accepted. As of October 3rd(my start date), I'll be the Director of Sponsor and Player Relations of the Fore!Kids Foundation. It is a non-profit organization committed to raising funds for children's charities. The main fundraiser of Fore!Kids is the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which is a PGA Tour event. In my new job, I'll be responsible for dealing with not only the people from Zurich Financial, the title sponsor, but also the PGA players who have committed to playing in the tournament. I'll also be helping to plan the Zurich Classic and other fundraisers throughout the year. It sounds like an exciting job and a really good opportunity and I'm looking forward to starting!! I'll miss WLAE and my TV job, but hopefully I'm on to bigger and better things!

Fall Softball Begins!

Playing 2nd Base During First Game

Looking Cute as the Catcher
Batting

Is that Morgan in There?

As I mentioned in a previous post, Morgan is on a softball team at Pelican Park. Last Tuesday was her first game but they only got to play one inning before the skies opened up and the downpour came. She didn't get to bat that game because they put her 4th (cleanup) and the first 3 batters had struck out. She played 2nd base and got the only out for her team that game...she stopped a ground ball and threw to 1st base. Yeah, Morgan!! Her 2nd game was on Friday and Morgan got to play center field, 2nd base and even catcher! She doesn't like catcher but she looked so cute in the gear! Also, we found out that now the games have started, she also has practice on Thursdays, so that means softball on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday...so much for a free day!

First Set of Golf Clubs

I know I haven't posted in a long time, but with mine and Kirk's work schedule and Morgan's school andextra-curriculars, there's no time for anything else anymore. Yes, you all are going to want to report us to 60 Minutes or Dateline, but Morgan now has dancing on Mondays, softball on Tuesdays and Fridays, tennis on Wednesdays and choir during school on Tuesdays. That leaves only Thursday as a free day. She also wants to add gymnastics to the mix but we told her no! We'll see how all this goes for now, but she wants to do all of these activities...trust me, I'd be happy with her not doing any of them. We went to Academy Sports today to buy a few things that Morgan needed for softball...cleats, batting glove, bag, black shorts, practice balls, etc., etc. Somehow we ended up stopping in the golf section where Kirk proceeded to buy Morgan a set of junior golf clubs and a glove. We're all going to the driving range tomorrow morning to practice (yeah, I'm not very good). These are pictures of them in the backyard hitting Birdie Balls, which Poydras would retrieve for them. So we might have the next Michelle Wie? Or maybe she's the next Maria Sharapova? Or maybe that softball girl whose name I don't remember?
