Tom's Volleyball Team...

...goes to the championship playoffs. This was Tom's second year of playing volleyball with Don Baggett from work and some other friends. They do a great job and win almost all of their games. So when they were playing their final games Tom invited all the fam to come watch. Well, I was amazed at how well the kids stayed focused watching and cheering and keeping tabs on the score throughout the first game. With all that energy coming their way Tom's team won. (Along with his excellent serving, setting, and blocking skills) Then we said "hi" (we slipped in right as it started) and let the kids get a drink from the drinking fountain and it was all downhill from there. I spent the next 2 games of the set bringing kids back from the drinking fountain and trying to get them to come read books, eat snacks, or anything I could think of rather than running around and laughing loudly. Well, I like to think that the kids were not too distracting to Tom's team, but I think the lack of our collective cheering had something to do with them losing the next 2 games. But they played great and it was really fun to see my honey in "his element" (one of his many...) He also plays raquetball and has been nursing quite the fat lip for the last week since he got hit by the racket of his "friend" :) That's my man!
