Number 2 is 17. Kinda crazy how fast it goes. There are so many things I could say about my not-so-little buddy, about his character, his love for building and creating, but to keep it simple, I just want him to know how proud I am that he is mine and to keep charting your

2 Corinthians 9:7 says that, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Most people, and I am guilty of this too, typically assign a dollar value to this verse. But

Whew, that was a good weekend. Since we last met, Number 2 has played 2 games, started both, and looked like a beast out there. Playing great defense isn’t like great offense, which can be measured in assists or goals, but is instead measured in the plum and indigo of

I have a life outside of lacrosse. I have a life outside of lacrosse. I have a life outside of lacrosse… I do! It is always good to have family in town; the wife’s brother, our niece, and her boyfriend are visiting. Every trip, the effort, the time, is special,

It’s a trap! The girls rolled, but the boys…well, they landed on the field like a wet cow pie in the pasture. Not much went well for Number 2 and the boys. Perhaps still hungover from the win vs. Middle Creek, a canceled practice due to weather, and a whole lot

We are back at it tonight, two lacrosse games, one each for Numbers 2 and 3. This time, it is split-team operations for the wife and me, as they are being played at the same time, geographically an hour apart. For the boys, we cannot afford a letdown from the weekend, and

A little out of whack today. School was moved online because of incoming storms, so the littles, which are not actually that little, are all here. The big news from the weekend is that the Varsity Boys beat Middle Creek, a top 5 team in the state! The final score was 7-5. It

Our first loss of the season. The Varsity girls lost a heartbreaker last night to the New Hanover Cougars, 7-6, in what could have been the worst conditions I have watched lacrosse played. With the temperature in the mid-40’s and a rain, driven by 30-mph gusts, that

The Pirates plundered and pillaged their way to three victories last night. They couldn’t quite pitch a shutout, the Varsity Boys won 18-0, JV Boys 16-0 (I think), and the Varsity Girls won 21-1! Two and Three will be patrolling the green fields of The Ship once again

One of the more annoying things about construction and having to wear glasses (because you can barely read the tape measure) is that my pencil no longer sits behind my ear. Don’t get me wrong, not seeing the tape measure is more annoying, but I have already accepted
