Are You Serious?

I have never professed to be an athlete and I'm okay with that. It still seems strange to me that having said that, I gave birth to Esteban. He LOVES sports. He is VERY competitive in every sport he participates in. He is a natural athlete.

This year he played another season of indoor soccer, which is a mix of hockey and soccer. Pictures are hard to take in the arena but, like I've said before, "A bad picture is better than no picture."He also played church basketball. His team wasn't the best team out there but he still enjoyed playing.This year, the young men at church started a dodgeball tournament (as if church basketball wasn't dangerous enough). Dodgeball is lots of fun to watch. Esteban has a knack for being the last player left on his team.At one point in the game he was hit in the face (which is against the rules but, hey this is dodgeball.) Did that slow him down? Of course not, he took some paper towel, shoved it up his nose to stop the bleeding, and went right back in the game.Are you serious? Esteban is when it comes to sports.

You've got to have one that enjoys sports. You really don't have to, but it sure keep life interesting. I'm glad he enjoys it so much. How did you find out about indoor soccer for his age group? Brennan gets mad at me because we find out about sign ups after they've already begun the season.
