The boys
(and Mike) continued with judo/mixed martial arts as the schedule allowed this
year which wasn’t as often around their other sports. Although Mike managed to work in Skills and
Drills classes over lunch more frequently than the boys got to go. They have a lot of fun fishing, backpacking, and
doing other manly things like wrestling and shoveling snow together. The boys
played soccer again this Spring. Both
boys were on the same team (6-8 year olds) with Mike as their coach which was a
blast. They continued with swimming lessons and are starting to look like
fish. The big change for the year was
that Ethan’s constant pleading resulted in both boys switching over to football
this Fall. They played Flag Football
with the Upward league which was started this year by one of the other big
churches in town. We can’t say enough wonderful
things about this national program. It
was organized very well and taught character as well as many other worthy
attributes all while teaching verses and having halftime devotions, etc. Mike was a coach for Ethan this year
too. It was a longer and more involved
season than soccer, but is the new sport of choice by the boys.
