One game down. I can breathe until next week. That's Christopher running with the victory flag. I thought I was videoing but all I got was a bunch of snapshots like this.

Christopher doesn't know if he will play football again next year. He's had fun but he said his position is "lame". I'm cool with that. I haven't had to hold my breath and the only game dirt on him comes from his shoes. They've won all their games. Tomorrow is the playoffs. Will the Ravens go to the super bowl? Stay tuned...

Mom & Dad traveled to watch the playoffs - our coldest game

My mom would scream in one game more than I did all season. 

My dad would be impressed that little kids can play real football.

Christopher would be proud to have them there. 

We won!  

One more week of practice... 

and then... 

'Twas the night before the big game

It would pour down raining. I would toss and turn. My husband would make it in from a Marine Corp Ball photo shoot around 2am. I would get up and watch Scandal with him. At 6:45 Christopher's alarm clock would go off to the surprise tune of the NFL theme song. We would scramble to make it to the field by 7:45.

It's Super Bowl Saturday! To say I'm EXCITED is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I don't know if because it's the last game, the boys are undefeated or because I get to wear new rain boots that I bought over three years ago. Powered by socialditto  16 likes ·  4 comments

Everybody was pumped.

The boys played hard.

It was a tough game.

It was a mean game.

Some parents wanted to fight.

I paced.

My husband took action shots.

I almost cried once or three times.

We lost.

Some of the boys cried.

My heart swelled to capacity.

Exhale...

So, how do you spell relief?  

I spell it... 

S - E - A - S - O - N - O - V - E - R

Here's the thing... I get to breathe for a week.

Basketball practice starts next Saturday.
