Ode to Fall Sports

I love the fall!! It just happens to be the busiest time for our family. Kati and Jacob had great Cross Country seasons and Zach tried his hand at football for the first time. I love to watch the runners and I love football but I am not a good football mom. We will see about that one. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Zach got quite the shiner at football practice. How manly!!?!!
It is nearly impossible for me to cheer and take pictures at cross country races. I usually get the runners in back of Kati or her feet or the sky. I got a few of her this year!!!
Kati's team qualified for state this year, the first in school history. What a fun thing to be a part of.
Jacob was not any easier but he hammed it up and usually waved or something. I told him he was not running fast enough if you can wave at the people taking your pictures. He did very well so maybe there is something to that.

Jacob is in the blue shorts. The kid in black haunted Jacob all year but Jacob got him in one meet!!
I love watching them run, it is the highlight of the fall. I am glad they love it. I am glad it is over for the year though, time to relax!! We are looking forward to next year when Kati and Jacob both run for the high school.

I'm glad things have slowed down a bit for you, but I know your kids enjoy their sports. A rest now until track.

I love Cross Country... wish my kids would get into that! The only problem with CC is that something about it always makes me teary-eyed... I guess I am just a cry baby! (Maybe it is just remembering back to the pain... oh, the pain!)

Even though it was hard and stressful I really miss all those sports events. Enjoy them. They are missed when they are gone. Keep going Ford Kids. You are great!!!
