Well, it's begun. Our first football game was yesterday. And as I'm sitting here writing this, I realize I haven't updated you on Collin's football journey. Collin and Matthew both started out on the Pee Wee squad this season, but since Collin is twelve, he had to play as an "older lighter". That just means since he's older, he can't weigh as much as the other kids on the team. Ten and eleven year olds can weigh up to 120 pounds. Collin, as well as some other players on the team, had to top out at 100 pounds. Well, despite REALLY trying, eating only lean protein, and running like he was Forrest Gump, he just couldn't do it. He got down to 105, but that's where he bottomed out. He just didn't have any more to lose. The boy is like five seven or something and has about two percent body fat. Anyway, he had to move on to school ball. He's now playing at Beacon Middle and is in the running for the quarterback job.
With that said, Matthew is still playing Pop Warner and, as I said, had his first game yesterday. Cape Vikings 31. Harrington Huskies 0. Cape really looked good. Matthew is playing starting right guard, kick off team, and punt team. Needless to say, our punt team didn't see much action yesterday. Our next game is this Saturday against Wicomico. That's Wicomico. As in Salisbury. As in close to Princess Anne. Just thought I would throw that out there for anyone who may just happen to live in the Princess Anne area and may want to see their Grandson, umm, I mean Matthew, play some football. Kickoff is at 1:00. Oh, and while you're there, you can also see the team's new and improved water boy. Every time there is a time out called, he sprints to the field with his bottles of liquid gold. Precious hydration, Collin be thy name. Yup, one way or another, he was going to be on that field! Linda told me after the game that she thought the water boy was cute and she wanted his autograph!
Also, school starts Tuesday. Collin and Matthew are both now in middle school and, believe it or not, Aaron starts kindergarten. There is no way he's old enough for that! Didn't we just have him like a year ago or something? Jeez, time flies. Not only are the boys getting big, but Izzy, the new wonder dog, is getting as big as a horse. And eating like one, too. More pictures of him to follow.
Anyway, that's all for now. Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone!
