49ers

A.J. had football pictures and his first scrimmage last week. He is playing on the 49ers as number 18. He rotates back and forth between the offensive line and the defensive line. And, yes... they tackle hard! And, no... I don't like it!

It is funny to watch the boys taking their pictures. Some boys, already had down the football face - no smile, tough look. Then you have my baby... all smiles for his individual camera! To him, it is still a fun game! I would just love if it would stay that way forever!

They scrimmaged against another team, and A.J. took quite a few licks. But, I was very proud of him. He did not complain one time. He toughed it out. However -- if you haven't heard yet... we did have the first football injury of the season (during the very first practice). A.J. stuck his finger in one of the wholes on top of the helmet and got it stuck. The coach had to pull it out... blood and all! That's my boy!




P.S. I know this date holds many sad memories for our county. However, I must say I will always remember 9-11 for another reason. 7 years ago today is the day I went to the doctor and found out I was pregnant with A.J. What a blessing these years have been for us... tackle football and all!
