Fall Sports

Fall Sports are in full swing. I should have posted yesterday when I could have told you Ryan's football team was undefeated, not just winning all their games but winning all their games by 20-30 points! That was until this morning when they got beat 44-24! But even losing big is better than watching. Which is to say that Ryan is getting WAY more playing time this year. He's starting on the offense and playing a bit of defense too. I'm loving football this year!

I just wish football didn't overlap fall soccer season. Adam and Evan are both playing soccer. The middle school league has been playing for a few weeks now. Adam's team is not doing well. They won their only JV game but have lost all the regular games. It's painful to watch!

But even more painful to watch was Evan's first game this morning. In past years, he's played 3 against 3. But this year he's moved up to a bigger field and they're playing 5 against 5. So, this morning we had 10 kids running in a pack, chasing the ball. Someone is going to get hurt! We've only had one practice so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and just pray they start teaching positions.

Now, just for fun.. let's look at my weekly schedule:
