Sports mom




I had a new sense of fulfillment yesterday. Some friends and I signed our boys up for soccer. As I filled my small suv with hyperactive kids excited about soccer, I realized I am having my first glimpse of being a potential soccer mom. Luckily the boys are only signed up for a 3 week course to teach them the basics of soccer. That means I am still in soccer mom practice mode as well. This is good because upon arrival, we learned the class had been canceled for the day. Instead we had coach Mike run them through a few drills and we called it good as soon as all 3 were at completely different ends of the field. Now I just need to sign up Afton for gymnastics and then I'll officially be a full-time sports mom!

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
