Estes, Caleb #44

Tonight was Caleb's first football game. Everyone was SO EXCITED!!!! We could hardly stand the wait. We tried to make the afternoon calm & normal. We went to a tennis match, got Cade ready for soccer practice & then got a little reading done.

Thank goodness for our Uncle B. God gave Rob the best friend & brother ever. Rob had to take Cade to practice, so Caleb REALLY wanted B to help him get dressed. There are some things a mother just can't do on her own. Like for instance picking up an 85lb. + boy and pulling up his football pants. I needed the help from our B.

After B & Amanda came to the rescue to help get dressed. We headed to the field. Just watching him warm-up was crazy!!!! He looked SO BIG.

Then the family started filing in. Group by group. In the end there were 22 of us. Thank goodness Aunt Yay-Yay had the best idea ever, to get us matching shirts. She took so many orders for more shirts for everyone else.

Caleb played quarterback & linebacker the entire game. He handed the ball off to his good friend Kameron for 2 TD's & ran 2 in himself. It was the most amazing thing ever. They looked like they had played together forever. I did shed a few tears of happiness, to see your little boy out there being a great athlete & leader is amazing. Rob & I are so lucky to have been given Caleb. He showed on the field tonight great leadership & sportsmanship.

Caleb decided before the game to make a list of goals. here they are in his words:

* make 5 good tackles

* make good passes & handoffs

* try not to be airagent



Thank you to everyone friend & family for coming out tonight. We were given great football weather & Caleb LOVED having you all in the stands!!!
