Coen's first football game

Today was a neat day.
Today, my son, Coen (8), played in his first official football scrimmage.
Of course, at the age of 8, we are playing for 100% fun. And he is having so much fun! Until recently, Coen was not really interested in playing sports a whole lot. We realized that alot of it had to do with confidence. A couple of his friends asked him to play football...and HE wanted to play. It was neat to see him excited about a sport! And we knew that the coaching staff was stocked with great guys who boost each players esteem and discipline them to play as a team. He has had practice every day for the past 2 weeks...(excluding weekends) and has enjoyed each 2 hour practice...hanging with the boys :) As a mom, I am moved by the team atmosphere that surrounds Coen. A community exists in sports. A belonging. His smile when he is playing is priceless. I pray that he learns much from this experience. Confidence, Teamwork, Endurance. All fine attritubes to learn at an early age :) Here are some pictures of him playing Saftey today :)
GO Ramblers! Coen #37 - Aug 2008
