Matt played football. His brother Rick played football. Rick’s older boys Adam & Andrew played/play football. Both Matt & Rick were kickers, amongst a lot of other things. (The beauty of playing small town sports – you get to play both offense and defense!)
It seems like all of a sudden Rafe is extremely interested in sports. Basketball, soccer, football, baseball, wrestling. In the course of the day he plays a little bit of each of them. He’ll start actual team soccer this week, and this winter he’ll be able to do the wrestling club’s clinic. Right now he’s running around the living room in his underwear and a cape, playing some kind of ultimate fighting/football game he’s made up.
Matt bought him a football tee yesterday, so I had to post these pics for Uncle Rick. Rafe may end up following in his dad’s and uncle’s footsteps. Except that he seems to be a lefty.
