Grandmary as guest coach, Gil is 9 months, oh my!

On Friday, my amazing mother was honored as a guest coach for the VCU feld hockey team. Those women are amazing student athletes and they know a great teacher when they see one. I am so proud of my lovely mother. So lucky to have her.


This is a crappy picture but it is Mom being escorted out onto the field.


And my hands were full keeping the vakester out of trouble. There were balls to be kicked.


And giveaways to be had. The boys both got blue balls in honor of prostate cancer awareness. Hmmmmm.


And back at the ranch, someone turned nine months.


Gil, at nine months you are
Still as sweet as ever,
Crawling all over the place,
Solidly in 18-24 month clothes,
Sporting a size four diaper,
Eating all varieties of solids,
Just starting to show a tiny bit of stranger anxiety,
Pulling up to a standing position,
Very curious about the world.

I love my sweet little gillie and cannot believe that we are at the point where he's been in ths word longer than I carried him.
