August highlights
Busy August for us! Here's what we had going on...
Started out the month with football of course - Justin put in a lot of effort with practice and training and it has been paying off. He's built great muscle tone on his arms and legs, and is in super shape! He's growing a lot too, still on the small side of average for his age at 5'3" but we know he is continuing to grow. He had his first game at the end of the month - unfortunately they didn't do too well. His school is not one of the "big football" schools in the area, and sadly their team usually reflects this. Some of the better 9th grade players are on the Varsity team, so that obviously takes away from our team (which I suppose is understandable). The Freshman team is also hurting for coaches and that surely does not help the situation.
Terry and I have been busy with lacrosse, believe it or not! We are both on the Board of Directors for the team that Justin plays on. They are no longer just one school, so this year we got a new name, the East Valley Scorpions. I'm the Communications Director and one of my jobs is the website - check it out: www.evslax.com.
Nothing new with Eric. Nothing at all. Same stuff, different day. Wish I had more to report!
The only other big thing that happened in August was my trip to Europe (for work). It was very tough - we had a lot of problems, no fault of our own. But I don't think, in my 20+ years of event planning, that I have ever had a program with so many troubles! Glad it's over and glad to be home. I will post some details and pics sometime later this month.
What's in store for September...
