A reluctant fan

I'll admit, that when I heard Matthew wanted to play flag football, I wasn't thrilled. I am much more of a soccer fan. However, the team that Matthew has been playing on since last year wanted to play football, so I reluctantly agreed. Little did I know that Matthew was quite the football player! Today, he caught a pass from the QB, blocked the opponent to let his teammate score, and most impressively, caught the ball on the kickoff and ran the entire field to score a touchdown! I couldn't have been prouder. He did a victory dance in the endzone. I am so happy that they didn't fine us for that! ;)

Maybe a future as an Alabama Crimson Tider is in our future?

So fun to rejoice with your child!! ....I just KNEW you had to live where my hubby grew up! Matthew's shirt let me know that little tidbit. From your last post, I can say that I am kinda having "blogger's block" as well. It feels like I have to THINK up somethng to post. Pumpkin patch is next week so maybe those will be fun to see! Later!

I can't wait to cheer for Matthew someday when I'm making my way down to T-Town to watch my Crimson Tide play my favorite game.
