Another Football Season Is In The Books
Happy Saturday! Did your local high school wrap up its football season last night? As a coach’s wife, I always feel torn about this time every year. On the one hand, the competitive athlete in me wants to see Zach’s team go to the playoffs. On the other hand, the end of the football season ushers in the holidays with lots of special memories made not to mention the reintroduction of my husband and the father of my children back into our lives.
Getting one family picture where everyone is looking at the camera and smiling is like winning gold. Last night we settled for bronze.
As I was editing last night’s pictures it occurred to me I have yet to chronologically organize all of our football pics from the last 9 years and since I had nothing else to do (insert my eye roll here) I organized them in my Google drive. This year, more than ever, Caleb has really gotten into the X’s and O’s of football and he has spent hours watching film with Zach and writing out his own plays. The progression of the next 3 pics had me in tears.
2014 – 5 weeks after Caleb was born.
Celebrating a win when Daddy was head coach in 2017.
And suddenly he is 8 going on 18.
Although these pics made me teary eyed I am not shedding any tears that our 9th season as a football coach’s family is in the books. On to the next chapter!
