Football

It's football season again. I'm not talking about pro or college. I'm talking about what really counts. Our grandson's team. The Ojai Eagles. Anthony is playing his 2nd year. If you were reading my blog last year you'll remember that Anthony's team was undefeated and went to the Super Bowl. This year he and his friend, Shane, are the only 2 returning and the rest are rookies. The rest of Anthony's teammates from last year moved up. This means more playing time for Anthony - yea- but already they've lost a game. That's okay, it's still lots of fun! Anthony is playing corner back and wide receiver.
Anthony is number 16. As a side note: Ever since Anthony started playing sports as a toddler he has chosen #16 for every uniform he's had. It's been his choice, not ours. We lost our son, David, less than 2 weeks before Anthony was born. Anthony has always wanted to know all about David and has felt a connection to him. We think that he and David were together during those 2 weeks. 16 was David's baseball number.

Super Bowl Champs!

Anthony's team, the Ojai Eagles, went to the Super Bowl today. They had an undefeated season and were playing the Santa Barbara Dons who had only lost 1 game. We drove to Santa Ynez for the game. It was really exciting to watch our guys play their hearts out. They won 20-0. The coaches said that they're the first Eagles team to go all the way undefeated.
Anthony on the line.

Anthony plays corner back and wide receiver. Today the coaches also put him on the line. He did great! Anthony said he loved it. We're so proud of he and the rest of the team!Is that one happy guy or what?
