Raising a boy has increased my admiration for the gender in general, but it has failed to demystify them.
/How do you come home from a football practise your mom won't even get out of the car to photograph with a giant smile on your face? "That was the worst practise ever!" (but the enthusiasm told a different story)

There's been a month of high knees,
push-ups,
crunchies,
/"airplane",
//
plank,
/ /
and "six inches".
/
(My abs were crying out for a football practise as I uploaded these photos.)
//
Practise,
/
/
Practise!
(Red receiver gloves were the best buy I could have made - now I can spot Steve on the field.)

All building up to the glory of playing football on a Monday night.

And winning your first game.

Under the lights.

Way to go Steve!!
Oh Barb! What a terrific post. What a smart mom you are to catch every stage leading up to the first big game.
Hooray for Steven's win.
I agree...a different glove or pair of shoes is the only way to go in a field of helmets.
Very cool. And just as cool, your new camera came just in time for the season! The pictures look awesome.
Fun pictures and post! [And you don't even live in Texas (the football center of the universe)! I think a large portion of high school life revolves around football games here.]
Football is so, so fun to play, so I can totally understand how he could come out of such a grueling practice and still be smiling.
Is he doing hockey TOO this fall? You may be the ultimate mom, more so than I already knew, I mean!
It has been fun reading through the past few posts. Scroll down for comments.
What a cool post Barb. Way to go Steven! Your photos are amazing too. I have so much to learn raising boys and football is definitely one of them.
I love all the great pictures you have of him practicing...and of course the red gloves are just brilliant.
Loved the last two lines...you captured his passion perfectly.
