Football time! This is our favorite time of the year! The boys started 4-hour practices this week and will have them until school starts on August 18th. Then when games start, we'll have 3 HS games a week and one college game. I love it! We had our first football injury last night-Pete came home with a 1-inch long gash in his mouth from where his braces connected with his lip and someone else's head. (I think he'll be wearing that braces mouthguard from now on. :) )

On a different note, today Joel and the boys put a roof on Pops' garage (that's Joel's dad), so they could learn how to roof. They did a great job and now they'll be ready for when they buy their own homes someday.
