Quilt

Happy Birthday to my darling daughter Winter.  I made a quilt for her.  It is called "On a Wing and a Prayer".  She won't get to see it until Saturday.  I think it turned out pretty good and I love the colors.  I don't think the picture does it justice.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Love,  Debbie

Homecoming weekend ... Cross Country style

It's Homecoming weekend in Manitowoc and Isaac got to participate in an amazing way today!  It's a tradition here that the cross country team takes the game ball to the opposing team's town and runs it relay style back to Manitowoc.  Isaac and the team left the football field at 4:45 a.m. to head to Sheboygan - about 35 miles away.  When they arrived back in town, they had a police escort while they ran as a team to the start of the Homecoming parade.  Here's a picture that the local paper took that captured Isaac and his coach, Mr. Nicolai.

This is Coach Nicolai's 45th year coaching cross country for Manitowoc! This is his last season coaching and we're so thankful that Isaac could be part of his legacy.  He's an amazing man and inspiration to these kids!  I was two months old in 1968 when he coached his first meet!

After the parade, the team made a lap around the football field, were introduced and then delivered the game ball to the football team.  It was great for the team to get some cheers from the crowd as they spend so many hours and miles running on their own and their sport doesn't draw many spectators!  Sounds like the kids all ran about 12 miles today.

Here's another picture of the team ... Isaac is off to the far left.




It was such a fun day, I just had to share!!!

Football

Adam is playing football this fall!  The coaches have been amazing and I'm impressed with the program and ... He loves it!  I have a feeling we'll be spending many fall evenings going to football games for years to come!  He's number 37.

Adam is top, center in this picture.  Ryan tells me he was playing defensive end : )
 



See number 37 in the middle?  That's my little boy having fun!

Sweaty and smiling after winning 30-14.

 

 

 

Cross Country!

Today Isaac ran in his first meet. It was so incredibly exciting to see him compete! He ran a 5K which is 3.1 miles and the temperature was around 90 degrees! Isaac was 5th for his team and ran it in 21 minutes 36 seconds.  There were 520 high school boys who ran and Isaac was 250th : )  There were 2 girl's races too.  Coach wanted him to try to finish in the top half of the runners ... mission accomplished!

Watching a cross country meet is a workout in itself! We watched the start, then hurried to a different part of the course to cheer for Isaac and his teammates. We managed to see him run by 3 times before his finish.

This is a mile into the race - he gave us a huge grin as he ran by!


 

Sprinting for the finish!

 

I'm a proud mom who just had to share!  Isaac loved running with Tracy and Uncle Paul a few weekends ago

 

Love, Joy
