As soon as Thais got home, Carson asked if he could practice casting into the swimming pool. He did a really good job.

Recently, Avery learned to fish, then caught his first (and second) trout at Old Greenwood.

Playoffs: Christian Brothers beat Armijo High School from Fairfield on Tuesday night.

While Avery played in the playoffs at Jesuit, Carson played in the playoffs at Christian Brothers.

Last home game of the season.

CB won. On to the playoffs.

Carson at Christian Brothers scoring a touchdown.

Carson thought I would enjoy reading the book his 3rd grade class just finished. Excellent recommendation.

Sunday evening, we got together to celebrate Avery’s 13th birthday.

Leo is a freshman at Jesuit, Lauren is a freshman at University of Nevada Reno, Brooklyn is in 2nd grade at St Francis of Assisi.

While I consider myself to be a pretty good cook, it took me a few times to prepare the perfect bowl of ramen instant noodles for Carson. A perfect bowl means you must pour off ALL of the broth and add 3 ice cubes:

Carson at Christian Brothers.

Avery at Jesuit.

A home game at Christian Brothers.

While Thais and Lenin took care of away games for Sophia and Avery – both volleyball – I helped get Carson to his soccer game.

Mass at 10 am.

Afterwards, we visited classrooms. Avery, 7th grade. This class works at tables, students have a cubby to keep their books and supplies.

Carson, 3rd grade.

I was able to check out the boys early and we went to lunch at their chosen restaurant: Chick-fil-A. A couple of their friends came with us, Grayson and Hudson.

I marvel at the positions Carson and Avery find comfortable for extended game playing. Carson is actually playing online with two friends, Hudson and Zane.
