It's Been Awhile
 
We have lots of stuff going on.  I feel like it's been forever since I've blogged, but really it's only been 10 days!  I have several things that I could jam into one long post, but I won't do that.  Today, I'll just give a little update on Football.  We're in week 5.  Hank's had 2 scrimmages so far & Sunday is his first regular season game against the Spartans.
 
He's been practicing 3 times/week & he's slowly catching on.  Practices are a little intense & they don't really mess around.  They have several hitting drills/games that they play.  He's not a great/aggressive hitter as of now & he doesn't really like that aspect of the game but we're hoping the longer he plays, the more he'll catch on.  They also run a lot in practice, as in run up hills!  The coaches definitely don't mess around.  I can quote them saying to the boys, "You guys are getting tired, you're breathing hard & you're not in good enough shape!  If you're not in good enough shape, we're gonna run that hill like the big boys!"  And they did, they ran up that hill 5 times one night & 7 the next!  What's surprising is that they all did great!
 
 
 
Their first scrimmage was called the Jamboree.  It was also a weigh in for the entire league.  It was awesome to watch my boy from the sideline!  The whole team played both offense & defense and they played really well together.
 


 
He plays Sunday @ 11:00 & I'll have my Dixie shirt on, rooting for #56!
