Sports, weekends



Today was one of those days where Mike and I are up before sunrise preparing breakfast and game planning for the full day of activities that awaits us. Sometimes, I wonder why we do this to ourselves. I just want to sleep, and not get up to an alarm or stick to a schedule.







Why:

Child 2 completed their third triathlon finishing in 13th place with a time of 19:56 this morning. Getting better each year. As much as I would like her to “win”. Her attitude is; it’s not always about finishing the race first is what defines me at the winner, its finishing the race period. Then it was off to an afternoon soccer game in the miserable Texas heat. She was tired, but yet didn't give up.

Child 1 played hard in first game of the season. He communicated well with his teammates and is finally becoming more aggressive and using that massive body of his in the game he absolutely loves. Scored 8 points, plus made 2 free throws.

Watching your two introverted offspring's determination makes it all worth it. 
 

Before Mike and I know it, they will be out of the house with their own responsibilities.



Way to go Maddie-Reece & MJ! We love you kiddos to the moon and back.
