We love these boys so much! They have joined the Columbus Running Club and have been competing in Cross Country meets. They have done great! Emerson hurt his knee a couple weeks ago and didn't finish as well as he would have liked, but got back out there this weekend and finished strong! Jakob continues to work hard and have a strong finish consistently. It is hard not to be a proud parent when your children are working hard and giving it their all!
As we have participated in sports, it has been interesting to see which sports the boys enjoy. Jakob loves Cross Country and Tennis and wants to try Basketball. Emerson loves Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, and wants to try Football. We love that they feel like they can be their own person and not feel pushed into a sport just because Mom and Dad played it or wants them to play it. We have had many conversations with the boys about finding what they enjoy doing. Emerson expressed to us that he doesn't really enjoy Cross Country. We told him that is okay, but we finish out the season and give it our all! Parenting is always an adventure and a constant balancing act. We wouldn't have it any other way though. These kids are such a blessing to us and we are grateful for the opportunity that the Lord has given us to be their Mom and Dad.
