Spring football

I'm sure I mentioned that Sam chose to play spring football this year, rather than soccer or more basketball. He's had a great time. His team was undefeated (WOO!) after a shortened, rain-delayed season. Sam's really embraced his role as nose tackle/center. He's always felt confident about hiking the ball, but this year he tried rushing the passer and tackled more too. I think my favorite play of the season was one with the opposing team a few yards from the goal line, 4th down, and Sam pulled the runningback's flag as he crossed the scrimage line. No score! Go Sam!

I'm a horrible parent and have few pictures to show for the season, but my good friend Janet provided these. Thank goodness for friends!

Yes, we finally succumbed to the parent tunnel

Another win for the Gators! (Not that we're keeping score!)
