My little athletes

Good morning Dad! Every time my kids do something spectacular in sports I have the urge to pick up the phone and call you. I remember once in the baseball season after you died I was sitting in the stands and Clayton hit a home run. I immediately reached for my cell phone and started to dial your number. Man it hit me like a brick while I was dialing that you wouldn't be there to brag to. Thank you for all the times you made it all the way from Brenham to our sports activities. You did get to see some basktball and soccer and Christian play baseball. I'm glad you didn't miss out on all of it.

Anyway, the real reason for this entry was to let you know that Christian's Optimist football team won the Championship this year. They were undefeated for the year and even though Christian played mostly defense he did score one touchdown. I remember seeing a picture of you in a football uniform. Were you fast like my boys? I'll have to ask Aunt Beverely.

All the boys have turned out to be very good athletes. Clayton plays everything really well and we are giving him golf lessons all year round. They all played this summer and did really good in tournaments.

You would be so proud of their abilities but mostly sportmanship. They are learning how to win and lose graciously. They are learning how to get along with all types of people even screaming coaches. I'm proud too.

I think I'll just assume that you can see us from up there. Enjoy the games!!!!
