The last 8 days have been all about football... first with the big rival UofL vs. UK football game... we are a divided house with Kenny being a UK fan and me a UofL fan... so naturally the boys are fans of both... Kenny was lucky enough to go to the game and Jake, Eli and I headed over to the Gittings for a fun night out... Jake wore his UofL jersey the 1st half and UK the second, and Eli was outfitted in UK the 1st half and UofL the second... so the outcome wasn't what I had hoped for... but Kenny sure was happy!
Then yesterday Jake had a big game vs. a very good team. We are happy to say that Jake's team is still undefeated in 3 years... the game ended in a 7-7 tie... a true defensive battle... and our opponent scored on a bit of a trick play on the very first play of the game taking the snap before our defense was on the field... a bit of a bummer for 3rd and 4th grade flag football!
Today we headed back up to the field to watch Anna, Maddie, Sidney and Olivia cheer as well as Ryan and Austin play... Eli is Austin's number 1 fan! (I think Sandy would probably argue with me over that!) And Eli has developed a love of football... whenever we talk about going he will say "Eli football big" which means when Eli gets bigger he gets to play football...
As another update on Eli.... this week Eli gave us a 6 word sentence... I for the life of me can't remember what it was, but I know it had a preposition in it and it made total sense and you could understand it... 3 months home and language is really starting to take shape!

i've been thinking of you guys with the UK games. ;) glad to see that everyone is doing well!
LOVE seeing this post! We're all football here too! (And Ethan and Hoyte went to that game too - we were pretty sad in our house...for the love of all things HOLY if they could only get it together, eh? :))
Loved seeing you Monday nite - wanna try Saturday for our play date? Just let me know!
Hey Shannon--
Eli is such a cutie! It looks like he's fitting right in and that the language is coming along! Please give me a call anytime if you want to talk!
It was good to meet you guys. Good luck at Hubers. We went on a Sunday late in the day and it was not that crowded. You could tell from where they were parking cars that it had been packed and I am sure that it is only going to get worse as the weather begins to feel more like fall. We live sort of close to Hubers so when you go past, you will be going past our house as well.
