Touchdown!

It was the perfect play. Caleb ran the route precisely and the quarterback delivered a strike. He caught the ball in stride, turned and ran for twenty yards leaving all the defenders in his dust.
He crossed the goal line and we exploded in a sideline celebration. Caleb ran into my arms and we got so caught up in our moment that he forgot that he needed to be out on the field for the extra point. It was a proud moment for a football-crazed family like us.




We went from one fun sporting event to the next. Alyssa competed in her third gymnastics meet. Her scores weren't quite as high as her previous meets and the competition much more steep but we still continue to marvel at all she has been able to learn in the the six short months that she has been on the team. She's accomplished so much since she started gymnastics less than a year ago.
After the meet we went for a late lunch which included a yummy piece of cheesecake. The kids couldn't seem to shovel it fast enough!

A win at the football field followed by a gymnastics meet is a great way to spend a Saturday. And we get do it all again next week.
