JW took Will this past weekend to his very first UT football game. It was the perfect day, they had great seats, and they both had a blast. JW went to his first UT football game when he was 8 years old too, so he was really excited for Will to experience Neyland Stadium. (JW's first game was the 1982 Alabama game when the field was rushed and goal posts came down. Cincinatti game wasn't quite the same!)
WHAT?? My babydog is old enough to play football?? How did this happen??
Well, at least it is just flag football, so no helmets or tackling is involved, but still....
Look at him there on the right with his game face on. He wouldn't smile for the camera, he is so funny. His first game was this past Saturday and he scored 2 touchdowns!! It was great. We were all kind of floored at his natural skill and how much he loves it. His coaches are great and it is a fun group of little boys.
This Mama is just pressing on.....slowly accepting that they are both in school everyday. I have to fight my urge to walk around in a daze eating peanut butter M&M's and drinking diet dr. pepper. I am really thankful I am staying busy at school as Room Mom. I have a half marathon coming up in November that I need to start seriously training for.......AHH! I have so much other stuff going on with friends and family that I devote my time to as well. Everywhere I look I see people in need and projects that I could give my time to, so I am learning to pick and choose and know that I can't save everyone.
We are blessed and life is good.
