lips so I was very thankful for them not telling anybody. I mean, I
never expected this. Just to be on the team with some of the best
players in the world is truly an honor. That's the way I'm going to
approach it, to have as much fun as I possibly can."

a kid, possibly, and she found a way to get out here, even though
she probably shouldn't have. That just shows how excited the family
is."
