It has started.  All six kids are playing fall sports.  It is overwhelming and school has not even started.

Luke and Jack are each playing both soccer and baseball this fall.  We are waiting to hear their teams, but are hoping at least that they are both on the same baseball team.

Maggie is playing field hockey.  There are two practices a week and games on the weekends.  Marcia is coaching.

Noah is playing on two soccer teams.  He didn’t try out for the A team so that he would be placed on the B team with his friends.  And then the A team coach saw him and wanted him on his team.  Now he is on two teams.  Two tournaments this weekend.

Eden and Liz are playing field hockey.  They are both on varsity together and they play their first scrimmage tonight.

And 4 of them are playing lacrosse this fall.  We are loading up Liz’s weekends with prospect days.  Eden will have some fall events later in October and into November.  Noah is now playing for FCA and we don’t yet know his fall schedule.  Maggie is playing Redshirts this fall again, and has a fall schedule, which I have yet to publish.  Luke and Jack aren’t playing lacrosse yet, but they want to.

We don’t have schedules for most of the kids yet.  And they are back to school next week and the week after.  With dad in the hospital and mom struggling with her knees, I don’t know how we are going to manage.  But it will be worth it I think.  The kids really do like their sports, and we love watching them.
