Sports!





So the time has come, the fall sports schedule is over...the last games have been played and the trophies have been given out. What a great season we've had. Colin played Cesa Soccer for the first time and he loved it! His team was called the Black Bears (chosen by the kids) and I enjoyed watching him get better with each game. He finally ended up scoring a few goals tword the end of the season and was just thrilled with himself. The season went a lot smoother than baseball has in the past. I guess he's my little high energy, run like the wind kid!

Tripp played football this fall...yes, FULL CONTACT FOOTBALL... Who knew he was so tough? And why did he look like a 10 year old in his uniform? It was exciting to watch him (as I secretly held my breath hoping he wouldn't get hurt) and I was so proud of the way he really dug in and gave it his all. When they first put on those pads, there were kids that cried when they got hit, there was even one kid that decided not to play and quit the team, but not Tripp. He adapted and even excelled. But the end of the season, I couldn't believe what a transformation in him athletically and developmentally. He really has a new attitude and a little more self esteem. It was great for him. His team even went to the Super Bowl for 8 and under. We didn't win, but it sure was fun to play in the big game.
