Brad Coaches Charlie and Jack


The boys played flag football again this year and what a difference a year makes! Brad was the coach and had a great assistant in Keith Gilbert another father. The team really seemed to catch on to the concepts of the game. Defense was great. Offense usually scored if the ball made it from the center to the QB. Both Jack and Charlie were fantastic players and I was so thrilled to watch them celebrate each other in success. Jack is super fast and was a great receiver and running back. Charlie was also great on offense but really found his place as a "Defensive Monster". Even when they had the ball, Charlie got a real thrill out of protecting the ball through great blocking. It was a great season and the team only lost twice to the same team...It's so much fun to watch the twins and Brad out there on the field together. Brad was such a patient and good coach. Often, when someone was out of place on the line he would just pick them up and move them over a few feet. There isn't much a man can do that is sexier than be a great father!

Cairo's Volcano Project





The 5th graders always do a volcano project for science. Cairo did hers today. We put it together last night and today she did the presentation for her classmates. It's built around a 2 liter bottle of Coke and to make it erupt she opened the Coke bottle and added several Mentos. As the photos show, it was a huge success.
