Acorn Soccer Game

The H Man played in his 1st soccer game last Saturday.  He was a little slow to get started, I guess that's what happens when you have one practice then show up for a game, but by the end, he was kicking the ball down the field.  Sure there where a few times that he kicked the ball all the way towards the wrong goal or tackled the ball to keep it from going to the opposite team but overall, he's a natural.  Even Brooks got in a few practice kicks while we waited for the game to start. 

My new friend, Darby, is the Acorn soccer coach...a very prestigious title.  You need A LOT of patience to wrangle these kids up and down the field.  This is a job that I probably will never be able to do.  She does a great job getting the kids excited about the game and how to play as a team.  At one point Robert looked at me and said, "It's like trying to herd cats!"  But the team was great and what a blast to watch these kids work together while having fun!

The Big Hunt

The hunt was on today. Brooks, Harrison, and I went to the Timuquana Country Club for breakfast with the Easter Bunny and an Easter Egg hunt. We met Hoyt, Holly, BeBe, Leigh, Nana, and Ma at the club. Brooks, much like her visit with Santa, was not a fan of the Easter Bunny. BeBe was all about it. And Harrison, eventually, came around to wanting to see the Easter Bunny, especially after he noticed a toy was given to each child after their visit. Once breakfast was finished and all the children had been paparazzied with the bunny, we all went outside for the kids to participate in the anxiously awaited Easter Egg hunt. Harrison, Brooks, and BeBe were successful in finding several eggs. We finished the morning by stopping by Nana and Papas house where all the kids got a swing ride from Papa. It was a nice morning with lots of excitement!

Busy Bodies

Harrison & Brooks have been working hard to get in shape for their big Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday. We've played tennis, been swimming, and we've been playing around in the yard... all in preparation for the "big hunt". Harrison even had an pre Easter egg hunt this Wednesday at school in which Brooks and I were there to hide eggs. Brooks ended up finding more than eggs than hiding them but that's ok. We also got to spend some time with Virginia Anne and Wade while they were here in Jacksonville. Fun times!
