It's Little Loop time again


Well it's that time of year again. Little Loop season has officially begun. It is by far the most crazy thing we have ever been involved in. Every night Monday-Friday from 6-8 (actually for me it's 5-9) we are at the William D. Williams Park for football & cheerleading practice.

This year Connor is a Lion and hasn't even complained about practice or the heat or anything. It's funny how drastically he changes from year to year. It has been simply amazing to watch him grow and mature from season to season. This year he can even put his own pads and belt on. Anyone who has ever fished a football belt throught he tiny little hole knows what a feat that is.

Hayley has moved up to the Launchers and seems to be loving it more than any other year. She has several girls that she has moved from team to team with and it's awe inspiring to watch their bonds grow more and more each year. They know each other so well and fall right back into sync at the first practice.

Things are a bit different for me there also with the official title of President that is a little stressful. The split second decisions that have to be made on a nightly basis have been a little nerve racking but exhilarating all the same. There is so much personal satisfaction is going home and thinking I did something good or I made the right decision tonight. However, I will admit it can be emotionally draining.

Riley is still running around like he owns the place waiting impatiently for his time to come to be on the team.

August is always crazy hectic but we wouldn't have it any other way!
