It's hard to believe that Kaleb started the 8th grade this year and boy has it kept him on the go "constantly." The football season started before school did. For these Jr. High boys, football is like having a part time job. They spend anywhere from 15-20 hours a week on the football field between practicing and games. Every time I take a good gander at Kaleb, it looks like he's lost another 5 lbs. He no longer looks like a lineman even though he plays offensive/defensive line as a guard. He would indeed eat us out of house and home from all the extra calories he's shedding daily. One of the football coaches recently returned from Iraq and has placed huge focus on conditioning these boys into shape. Thus far it's been a losing season :( the boys won 1 game and have played their little hearts out. One of my greatest joys is cheering on my kids from the side lines; watching them pour their heart and soul into something they are passionate about makes all the tedious things in life fade away. Kaleb, no matter where you go or what you do (unless its bad enough that I want to beat you) I will always be your #1 fan.
AHOY, ARRR, and way to go Marvelous Matey! How fun! I wish we could be there to cheer on Kaleb.
