While Joe was on a recent business trip, I found Benjamin and Rachel outside “scrimmaging” in preparation for a game with Daddy when he came home.  Just had to snap a few pictures.

(My mother-in-law Becky saves EVERYthing.  She dutifully kept Joe’s high school jerseys for 20 years in her closet, even moving them to a new house.  The kids have enjoyed wearing them-  good thing she saved them!)

(It’s not the loving embrace it may look like.  This was just prior to Rachel being put firmly on the ground.  Not sure this was a fair match-up but to compensate, Rachel “tackled” by just hanging on to his jersey until she could drag him down).
