Emilio and I went to ECU's first home football game this past Saturday.  As always, we sat on the field, just outside ECU's end zone.  We won the game over Southern Nazarene, 35-17, and Emilio snagged six footballs after extra points and incomplete passes.  A photographer for the local paper took this photo, which did not make it into the paper, perhaps because I have recently been featured there with my other two children?

Season Two, Game One: Silver Surfers vs. Black Ninjas

Emilio's new soccer season begins.  A random draft of players puts Emilio on the white team, where he will play beside his old pal Eva and under the direction of Eva's parents Dwight and Deena.  No players from the Lime team on the new Silver team, which will go by a name nominated by Emilio--the "Silver Surfers."  Uniforms did not get here in time, so Emilio's team is wearing the blue numbered vests that you see in these videos.  At the beginning of the game, I found myself talking to the dad of one of Emilio's former teammates.  I commented that the longer fields were going to tire the kids out.  Turned out not to be the case.  There are more kids on the field and Emilio is now the youngest in his age group instead of the oldest, so there was reason to believe that he might not dominate play like the did last spring.

Emilio was the first to score.
