Number 2 made the varsity lacrosse team! While that was not exactly a surprise, the fact that we found out that not only did he make it, but Number 3 did too! Varsity as a freshman is kinda a big deal. Congratulations to you both. Not only that, Number 1 had his first skiing injury! He&#8217;ll be alright, chicks dig scars. Apparently, the crash was recorded&#8230;I hope we can see that and not just the aftermath embedded below. ***Video might not be appropriate for all audiences.***<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins. Today, I am going to have to solicit some help from the wife as she will be writing my notes for the next little while. I can publish, but require a little help on that end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Visual credits to: Featured image \u2013 Christal Steele @Interior Quotes: @CowboyGospeler @trad_west_ @readswithravi @Cozyreads_ @the_culturist_<\/p>\n<p>Language warning!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"First skiing Injury\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZeBia8ZfGTU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1. <em>&#8220;If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn&#8217;t lead anywhere.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Frank A.
