Sondre has been very, very busy now that football has started. In the US, football practices before the actual season starts are pretty intense...to say the least. Beginning on Monday morning at 7am Sondre had to be on the field and ready to practice and he has practice almost every day for the next 3 weeks. The team spends time practicing football drills, have training meetings, working-out in the weight room and drink lots of water. He does not get home until 6pm so it is a very long day. The team and the coaches have been very welcoming to Sondre and are teaching him the game and the rules of the game. They are very safe and cautious to make sure they boys do not get over-heated, etc... He is making new friends and in fact one of his new friends drives him home from practice every day since Scott and I are at work.
He is in very good shape so he is doing just fine. Last night though his muscles were so sore that he was walking around like an old man...Scott and I were laughing pretty hard at him. :) He is so tired that he has been going to bed at 8:30 pm...so much for staying up late, watching movies and eating pizza like other teenagers. He is an "eating machine" because he is working so hard...so Synne you don't have to worry about him getting fat while he is here!
This is a picture of the team on the field. Those stands will be full of people during the football season.
He his #19...looks pretty cool standing there. He is really getting the "hang" of the game.
In this picture one of his team mates is giving him a few pointers.
Ready...Set...Go
He looks like a pro here...I think he caught the ball (see it in the upper frame)
This picture is just a shameless plug by a proud Grandma....Amelia above and Jackson below!
