Minus 1

Morgan left for football camp yesterday. He won't be back until Wednesday late afternoon. This is his first trip away from home other than spending the night at a friend's house. Morgan was pretty excited about camp. He was rooming with a friend. He called us twice yesterday. Haven't heard from him yet today. It's quiet in our house. Mark is at work, Morgan at camp and Jon spent the night at our neighbor's house. What's a girl to do?

The Better to See You With

It's amazing what you can find out about your child at one visit to see the eye doctor. When all was said and done we learned that Jonathan has an astigmatism and he is also color blind. Needless to say Jonathan is now wearing glasses. He has handled the news surprisingly well. The hard part in all of this is teaching the boy not to touch the lenses. Oh well, he will eventually catch on. Here's hoping he won't lose them once school starts back in August. I'll post a picture of him in his new specs later on.

First Catch of the Season

Yesterday was the first day we went exploring in our backyard creek since the flood two weeks ago. It's amazing what the power of water can do. Massive sycamore trees have been uprooted. The creek is still up a bit from it's normal water level. The boys had a good time. Jonathan caught the first and second fish of the season (bass). Mark and Morgan caught their lines on trees, roots and grass.

It's official!

Decisions, decisions.  I had no idea how hard it was going to be to give this blog a title.  We are a football lovin' family. I met my husband 14 years ago when he was a special teams coach at a local high school. We dated for 48 days before becoming engaged and were married 4 months later. Our oldest son has developed his placekicking skills, and our youngest son loves to punt. Our life is full of kicks and it is "good"!
