a first to remember

Very proud of our son & happy for him as he got his first 10U ice hockey goal yesterday (4/18)...
Afterward, Coach Anthony was very classy in presenting the game puck to Jadon, too.

Losing is such a hard thing to do

Last weekend was a real heartbreak loss at the hockey rink.  For most of the game, we were up by 3 or more points for most of the game, & Jadon had scored 6 goals and feeling confident as ever.  Slowly but surely (& with the help of quite a few un-called fouls), the opposing team picked away at our lead, and by the end of regulation time the score was tied 9-9.  Not long into overtime, the opposing team scored the sudden-death goal, & we lost.  That was the first time Jadon ever cried after a game... (Lord help us to show him where his real joy, meaning, worth, & approval are found.)
