First Games of the Season

It was a great day for the boys.  Jonathan's team won in double overtime 7-6.  He ran the football in on the conversion to win the game.  (He's the QB for his team.) I arrived to Morgan's game 20 minutes late, but just in time to see him attempt his first extra point of the season...which he missed.  Such pressure at such a young age.  His team did score again and this time the extra point was good.  His team won 14-0.  It sure makes life in our house a lot easier when both boys win their games.  Today we had to juggle team photo times and games that overlapped.  Next week I plan to take more pictures/video of both games.  Here's a video of Morgan's successful extra point.  

  

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.
