Crown Knights Football is in full swing with the Knights 3-1. Joel is an amazing defender. He has a spectacular spin move that allows him to rush the quarterback endless times and cause fumbles and rushed plays. Isaac is a wall on offense. He and the rest of the linemen can hold back hundreds of pounds. Ike is now weighing in at 200 pounds and he is proud to say it is "all muscle".
This is Isaiah getting bashed around for his birthday. He turned 12 this month. We had a great day of celebrating by going to Whirley Ball (a form of basketball/scoop ball in bumber cars) and Lazer Tag. We had cake and ice cream and were joined by Isaiah's friend Tanner. We can't believe that next year we will have 4 teenage boys.
This is our Crown Knights rooting crew, back to front we have David Chauncey (our Pastor), Anna, Sarah Chauncey, Alan Smith, Lori Smith, Daniel, Donna, Steve Olson (Gary's friend from grade school) and Gary. Steve, Donna and Daniel live in Comer, Georgia and we were able to connect and catch up on the past 30 years. They are wonderful people who treated us to an amazing home cooked southern meal.
Lacrosse started again. Isaiah is here on the right in black and white. He flattened, legally, a kid at their first game. It is wild that a guy as small as Izzy can take out such big kids. He loves that game and really hustles. Josiah has started too and he is keeping up well with his team. He holds his own and mixes things up on the field.
For Labor Day we went to North Carolina and visited our friends the Weavers. They are such a great family. The boys, Zach and Eli, are so generous, helpful, kind and patient. It is a treat to see them grow into such wonderful young men. The girls are treasures. Sierra, Sky, and Summer will put a smile on your face instantly. It is so special to see my boys interact gently and compassionately with them. Even Ike was able to be nice. Having girls around helps them control their testosterone a bit. Greg and Marta are as active and amazing as ever. Marta is doing beautiful things with her jewelry business and Greg has a "ministry" at his new job working near the University of North Carolina.
We enjoy each day God brings. These are just the highlights and the rest of our time is filled with school, chores, church and friends. God has kept us in His care during this whole adventure. I couldn't ask for better neighbors, church, friends, and sports teams. What a treat to follow Jesus, even through the HOTTEST summer EVER on record in Atlanta.
