Are you ready for Some Football...?

We find ourselves, tail end on a very active high-school Football Season. We have two nephews playing ball and that adds up to several (Sev-Ver-Al) hours, on bleachers.
Two is playing Varsity and
Three is playing on the Freshman and JV squad.
As you can imagine, those games do not play on the same day, at the same time, in the same town on Nextie Fields.
To say I prefer a Football game, over a Track Meet, would Honestly be The Understatement of The Year.
In addition, the Football Season Gods have been especially kind to Moi and provided the most beautiful Midwestern Nights Eva, to view our match-ups.
Yesterday, our Little Town celebrated Homecoming. Providing yet another, quaint reason to Heart Her.
Early Friday morning, I dressed my girls in green and rushed to meet their brother at school. We gathered with his class to view the Big Homecoming Parade.
(The Parade began at 10:15am. Trust Me... that is an early Exit from our Jammies/Couch Time.)



Coco enjoyed the musical beats from The Bands.
(And if you have ever wondered if the band actually, really needs that girl bouncing her hands up front... Commissioner will add your name and number to the Conference Call, held at a later date, to answer and explain... Yes, they really do.)



Our Three was named to Homecoming Court. A very longstanding tradition (expectation) for Coach's Royal family. They will all frequently Bore you to tears over their Crownings... Blah, Blah, Blah.





Number Eight Seven. Happy to see you in Green.



We've had several exciting moments. Great tackles, Leg blurring Dashes and last night, our first Quarterback toss into the End zone! Great Arm 22.
Very Proud of you guys.
Enjoy your Homecoming.
Try not to spill on your tie at dinner, pull out your lady's chair, keep those hands UP on her back and politely return her home... on time.

And as Peggy always used to say as we wrapped up picture taking and walked out the door:

Make sure you leave some room for the Holy Spirit!

Homecoming week might be the greatest week in the history of DTHS.

(Lovingly posted by a two-time court member, married to a man voted thrice. A tradition as strong as that of Dairy Queen employment fo sho.)

Is it a coincidence this family has so many "royal" members? No, it is that they are as genuinely nice as they are good looking!
