Football started over the summer for James and Andrew and lasted through mid-October.
Andrew, starting 9th grade in the fall, got up super early almost every day of the summer and rode his bike over to the high school to practice with the high schoolers without complaining.
Here's James's practices started a little later in the summer and were in the evenings. Here he is on Aug. 11 practicing at the high school field; other days he was at the middle school.
The football kickoff dinner/luau was Aug. 9.
Here are a couple pictures JB got of Andrew.
ometimes I was coming straight from work and still in a dress (Thursdays I am in the office, the other days I work from home with flexible hours). Millie has earbuds in below as she listens to an audiobook. She did a lot of that during the season.
During this particular game, James's team had a chance to play on the main field. He was upset about something — dropping a catch or missing a tackle I think — and Andrew ran down from the stands to comfort him.
My brother Peter is a ref for the youth league and one Saturday he was at working at our game.
The day after Max got home from his mission, James had a game up in Summit County and he came with us and we kept staring at him, happy to have him back with us. Here he was playing catch with Andrew.
The had black and white jerseys and also yellow jerseys for a game or two.
More book listening for Mille. Andrew loved to sit by her and try to tease her.
During the season, Millie had a cheer camp with the high school cheerleaders, and the group performed at halftime of a Friday night varsity game.
Andrew dressed according to the student section theme for that night.
Seems like we have gone from being basketball parents to learning how to be football parents!
