22 March 2012 Coach

Mar 23, 2012

At the end of an insanely busy day I realized that I’d taken only this one picture of Sam’s football coach giving directions to the kids on the field. Sam’s coach is now my coach too. This evening I tried out his Women’s Soccer Program. It was fun, a good bit of exercise, and also… humbling. Let’s just say that I have …
