Fall is in the air! Well, not really around here, but football is. And the Mot house is happily watching. Well, not really, just Jon and Ollie. If only I had a picture of Jon's fantasy football draft and the whole family would be represented in this post.
Seth has been asking to be signed up for karate for literally 4 or 5 years. The time seems right! He joined this past week and has been loving it. He is so proud of himself and is a very studious karate student. We are all cheering him on, although karate is not something Jon or I have ever been interested in. We can all learn along side of Premier's newest white belt.

Nolan is participating in his first year of soccer! I may or may not have lied on the application as the league actually starts with 4 year olds. Again, the time seems right! I figured I better coach his team as I am the one who illegally signed him up. We had our first game this past Saturday, and the Penguins did so much better than I could have hoped! Since the kids are so young in this division, the coach is allowed to run around on the field with them. We could never have made it through the game without this provision (as no one knows what they are doing) plus I have 3 on the team that need to hold my hand for them to even stay on the field. Nolan was a champ, though! He scored once or twice, and even though our age division doesn't keep official score, I'm pretty sure the Penguins got the W.
Ollie is playing on the Rays this year, and it's his first season of "real" soccer, complete with positions, goalies, and full-sized fields. Quite a switch for him, but he did awesome as well. Rays tied their game, 4-4. I also should mention that right before this picture was taken Ollie wanted me to time him while he ran a mile, as he is also training for cross country. 2 laps around our school block is a mile, and Ollie ran the first lap in 3 minutes, 15 seconds. The second lap took quite a bit longer as he allowed Nolan to run with him. Safe to say, I think he is going to make the cross country team.
Nolan and Lincoln, ready for action!
Penguin Power!
So strong! So fast!
