Hanging in there

Today we officially welcomed in fall...I know, I know, you are thinking, Catherine, it's still August!! Yes, that is true, but today was the first day of football preseason. We said "hello" to football and "bye-bye" to daddy :( With the start of football every year comes all new challenges and excitement to our little family. We looooove football here in this house so we are thrilled with this time of year. The girls enjoy going to HSC's games and getting to "help" daddy with "the boys" after the game. Let's just face it, when your house is scheduled and based on a certain sport (football then basketball), you just have to embrace it and all that comes with it. So as well as being extremely excited for football (tailgating anyone?!!!), we also face challenges. We face the challenge of balancing time. With Andy being gone a lot during football season, we have learned to cherish those little snapshots of time we have with daddy. Despite being gone a lot (I joke that once football starts I am a single mom until Basketball season is over in March), Andy is an incredible dad who gives every ounce of attention and love to his girls when he's home. They are not lacking in love, play or attention from their daddy! (am I a lucky girl or what?!!). So, with all that being said...Fall has arrived (in the form of 114 young boys...what?!)...and how are we doing??

We are hanging in there! :)


Happy Football season and may your favorite team win :)
