Brent is spending the weekend in Kansas attending his Grandma Daisy’s funeral and we send them all our love.
As he was flying across the country, Liam and I took a road trip down to Mashpee to watch Ellie play in her first lacrosse game! She is absolutely loving this new sport and being part of a team. I am so happy for her! Mashpee is about 1.5 hours away so I may have bribed Liam with McDonald’s and given him complete control of the music (god help me) to come with me. We had a great time though, just driving and listening to him tell me his stories and parts of the songs he loves most. It was pretty great…not the music, but the Liam.
The game was fun. They lost but she got some time on the field playing some defense. I worked hard to honor her clearly stated wishes that I not embarrass her by coaching her from the sidelines. Ha! I would never….ok I certainly would and really really wanted to, but I didn’t. But I did cheer loudly and wore a cheesy grin full of pride the whole time!
And as if that wasn’t enough, when Liam found out Ellie didn’t get any of the team pizza on the bus, he gave her his McDonalds. That kid’s capacity for kindness is endless and my love for the two of them unmeasurable.
