He also participated in the flag football program in Emmetsburg. It involved practices on Saturday Mornings for a little over a month and then they got to play on the High School Football field. He played quarterback in the game and did pretty well. He got a couple tackles and actually ran it in for a touchdown. Pretty fun watching him.
Thanks to a friend, we inherited some old football pads. Since Tim's flag football jersey was so big he was able to put it over the pads. We improvised for Connor and he wore an old Ruthven Ayrshire Ram's jersey. Pretty funny looking at these boys. Won't be long and they will be wearing the real thing.
Rachel has been busy as well. She is taking guitar lessons. She has been wanting them for a couple years now and I finally gave in. She is also in the Algona Children's Choir, practicing for a 4th grade basketball tournament and participating in a volleyball clinic. Wow, her schedule is busier than mine.
Braden is really getting quite the personality. He is the spitting image of Tim in looks but his personality mostly resembles Connor. Should be interesting....
As for Marty and I...Well, other than chasing after kids, we haven't been doing much. The harvest is going slow thanks to mother nature and the abundance of rain (and sometimes snow) that we have been getting. I am counting down the days until I am off of my crutches (for those that don't know, they are the result of a fall and then knee surgery).
