There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Tis the Season for college football:
Once upon a time we travelled to the Loveliest Village on the Plains just about every weekend to watch our much loved Auburn Tigers play football. We both believe in Auburn and love it. We love the town. We love the fans. We love Aubie. We love football. I used to spend time reading sports articles, listening to sports radio, watching all the games that came on television. Then we had kids. Kids have a funny way of making college football not seem so important (or important at all). They aren't born understanding the game. They don't want to listen to sports radio. They don't want me to read them sports articles. They aren't born with an allegiance to one team (though as responsible parents we are steering them in the appropriate direction). Don't get me wrong, it's still a blast to go to Auburn, but do we go all the time? No. We can't. And that's okay for this season of our lives. Our babies are only little once.
Aubie is such a cutie!
Tis the season for school:
Daddy is in school getting his MBA. It's been an adjustment for all of us, but I think we have found a balance. He is very organized with his study time and makes sure he spends plenty of time with me and our babies. Daddy is actually enjoying school. He has already been able to apply a lot of what he has learned to his job. Curly is also in PreK four days a week. Our little social butterfly absolutely loves every minute of it. This year we are carpooling with our little neighbor, Matthew, so that makes going to and from school even more fun for her. The Bear is still having a bit of trouble adjusting to Curly going to school. She wants to go too. The Bear will start next year, so until then I am enjoying my time with her and soaking up as much time with her as I can until she starts.

Tis the season for soccer:
Curly has started Upward Soccer at church. Upward it a great program that teaches the kids the fundamentals of the game and makes sure each child plays gets equal playing time. Her team is the Kangaroos. Her coaches are Coach Trey, Coach Doug and Coach John (all of which have daughters on her team). So far she seems to like it. Curly loves going practice and doing drills. What she's not great at is taking the ball away from the other team. She's been taught her whole life to share and not take things from other people, and now we are telling her to take the ball away from the kids on the other team. We've only had one game so hopefully she will get the hang of it as the season progresses. Unfortunately the first game had to be at 2:30 in the afternoon because of a local parade, so it was HOT HOT HOT. The heat could have had something to do with her lack of energy to get in the mix and try to take the ball away. The rest of her games will all be in the morning. Curly's jersey is HUGE! It absolutely swallows her. There was a mix up in her order, so she has a regular small instead of an XS. Oh well, it's more like a dress than a jersey, which she likes.
