Football

Christian decided that he was ready for Tackle football this year instead of Flag and so we signed him up. He is playing for the Ontario Outlaws and is loving it. For the month of August he practices 5 days a week for 2 hours. After the first week of conditioning he received his pads and officially made the team. He is absolutely loving it and loves to tackle and be tackled. It has totally taken over our lives and we can't wait for games to start. The coach said that he was going to get Ryan a baby helmet so he could be on the field because he is always trying to sneak on and he does all the exercises from the sidelines. Dan and I have loved watching Christian get into the game and we just sit in awe sometimes because he is so grown up.


We didn't get his practice jersey until the end of the first week so he wore his Patriots one and joked about one day being on their team.Here he is ready for his tackling drillHe already has the attitude down :)

Love the pictures! He is growing up so fast. Can't wait to have a boy so we can watch him play football.

Christian - you look so good in your Pats jersey! Not as good as Tom Brady, but still good! :)
