Proud Mama!

My wonderful baby boy, Johnny, is a football player at Oakmont High School.  Now, I am sure that my calling him a baby boy may strike one as odd, but it is a joke between the two of us.  My baby is 16 years old, 6'2"and 185 lbs; while mom is 5'2" and weighs much less than him!  That being said, he is a pretty big teen.  In 8th grade, I signed him up for youth football so that he would be physically active (and because Dad loves football).  Since then (only his 3rd year of football-he is a sophomore this year) he has discovered his love for the sport. 

Well, there are several reasons why I am proud of him.  First, as a sophomore, he is playing and starting on the Varsity team.  Second, because he now has a goal of going to college and playing college football, he is taking school seriously.  And last, he was named Defensive Player of the Game for last week's game! 

Tonight is the first home game for the season.  Maybe I'll have a picture or two to post.  Anyway, I am very proud of him.  It's great to see your kids set goals and start to achieve some of them. 

As for knitting........I knit Cleaves from Knitty Spring 2005.  It's a very quick and easy project.  I think I may rework the cowl and make it tighter.  Not sure if I want to do that or not.  I also felted my Pacific purse and blocked my Easy Lace Poncho.   Will be posting pictures of these soon.

How exciting for your son!
Your completed projects are beautiful. I plan to drop by the store next Saturday, so hopefully I'll see you then!
