This year we are blessed to be on a team where Joe is able to take Elijah to practice with him when he has practice in the morning. I realize not all teams are this gracious, so this has been wonderful for Elijah (and Joe) this year. It gives them a great opportunity to bond together 2-3 mornings a week. It also allows Elijah to be around a game he loves to watch and play. And it gives him the opportunity to be around Joe’s teammates and have other strong male role models in his life. Most parents only get to take their child to work with them one special day a year, but Elijah gets that experience weekly. And for that we are very thankful.

That’s wonderful. I really like when teams recognize and celebrate the importance of family. Does your daughter have any interest in going to work with her Daddy, or is she content to hang with you in the mornings?
Alexandra,
It is really neat when a team appreciates family! Abby would like to go to practice more, but she has school to do in the morning. Sometimes she goes if we finish up early. Of course, we could wait until the afternoon to do it, but unfortunately for her, she has a mommy who is pregnant and needs a bit of an afternoon siesta!
