Another Week of Successes

Like last week, this week has seen another week of successes. To begin with, Jacob and Caroline brought home excellent report cards. No report card for Stephen yet, but we no longer worry about his grades. And now for the sports.

It's hard to say who had the best week in sports. Caroline and Katherine finished their second week of soccer with a 6-2 win. Below are some pictures.Then Jacob's team came back after trailing 0-2 at the end of the first half to win the game in a shootout. Jacob scored his team's first goal of the night. I don't have any pictures of it but Aim filmed the whole thing. When you get to the part where Jacob scored Aim started screaming like a wild banshee. Ahhhhh how that brings back memories of my youth. Just substitute one screaming mom for another. Some things never change!

Then Stephen came in Second Place in the GISA Region 3 AAA Championship Cross Country Meet with a time of just under 10 minutes, but they round up. Two of the guys he beat in the meet had just beaten him the weekend before. The only guy who beat him at Regionals had finished 3rd the week before. The top three times were 9:56, 10:00 and 10:04. Stephen has now finished 7th, then 6th, then 1st, then 4th, now 2nd. The State meet is in Macon on October 31.
He also had his last football game tonight. He sacked the QB twice and had two more tackles for loss. He loves football.

Way to go Stephen. I hope you didn't sling your 2nd place ribbon
like your Uncle Rob did when he got 2nd at a wrestling tournament. Second is reeealy good. Keep it up.
Way to go Jacob! I don't think your mom screamed as loud when you scored the first goal for your soccer team as I screamed for your dad. It is not possible. So glad to hear you are doing so well in sports and academics!

Love Grandma Robbins
