Week 11 of 52 in 2021

Jackson:  He's  been more and more interested in helping out with his friends' dogs. On this day, he had volunteered to help walk Winston.  He's been having a lot of issues with his seasonal allergies and has needed his Zyrtec faster than the 24 hours and Zatidor eye drops after a lacrosse practice. I'm not sure if Winston had any influence on this but we may need to figure that out.

My Eye Dr had called and Jackson's glasses were ready. He was super happy to be able to see from a distance so much better. It's been too long since he's had access to glasses.

Connor: It was a week full of baseball. He's been catching up with friends for the past couple of weekends and the nice weather is allowing for that to happen during the week especially with Jackson having lax practice multiple times.

We finally heard from TRC that 11/12 baseball was a go and it was time to upgrade some of Connor's equipment. He and Michael had some fun at Dick's and he got a new bat, cleats and helmet. We had to give his cleats that were new from the prior season away that didn't happen because of Covid a couple months after he got them because he had already outgrown them. He's getting excited to return to the field with his team.

Week 10 of 52 in 2021

Jackson:  It was haircut time and practice in the rain. He always looks so much older on days when he gets a haircut.  As he's gotten older, it's gotten even more pronounced.  On this day, we squeezed it in prior to his team practice in the rain. Lax season is coming in hot and it was good to see the team be able to practice in the rain.  The rain coming through our roof was not a welcomed sight!

It was a warm but WINDY day in Frederica for the Green team's first games of 2021.  Jackson started at midfield and was moved to goal in the 2nd game after the starting goal keeper got hurt.  A couple minutes into the start of the 3rd and final game, he took a rebound ball to his shin that ricocheted up to his knee. He was unfortunately out for the rest of the game as they went 1-1-1.  Despite ending on a sour note, he was happy to be able to help his team in the cage (despite the circumstances) and help them get the W only allowing 2 goals.

Connor: He has been working so hard on his clarinet booklet and trying to get through the pages to the next set of songs. Connor is very precise and won't move on until he feels he has perfected a song, which can lead to his audience wanting him to move on quicker than he's ready. On this day, he figured out London Bridge, which had been throwing him a major curve ball. So happy for him.
