Photos for the Week

Elle in the warm, John Deere blanket from Kayla.

Alex is the player in green, closest to us, on the front line. He is the #2. Elle loves telling people what number he is, holding up two fingers. Glad he has a simple number for to her find easily on the field. He did make a touchdown, but none of us saw it.... YIKES - glad he is forgiving and it was only the first game, hopefully, he'll have many more this season and we'll see all the rest!

Elle loving her M and M's - that she believes have E's on them for ElleAnna. You know, if you turn them sideways, its an E and not a M.

Another of Alex, player closest to the camera on the front line, in green.

Elle and Dayton entertaining each other during Alex's game.

Conlee eating his popcorn, Dayton cruising the sidelines for girls during Alex's game.


Alex taking on a fierce opponent who was about twice his weight. Alex didn't enjoy it much.




Bryant in the #60, somewhere on the sidelines in the pix above and the one below. I saw him in the original photos, but these are aweful tiny for my old eyes... He's in the blur of green giants. This was the high school game last evening at home.

Nothing like the American flag, flying in the clear blue sky, over a football game on a beautiful night in the midwest. I feel a huge sense of pride as I watch my kids play a great sport, in a land where Elle can enjoy freedoms that she could have only ever imagined!

Well, this ends another busy week for our family. Next week will be no slower.... but, that's ok. Each day is an adventure!
