The Life and Times of the Watters Family

what we’ve been up to

Last week the boys each had 2 games. We had an extremely busy week on top of all the sports stuff. We had commitments every morning and evening last week– it was too much. Today we are going to stay in our jammies as long as we want and just relax. We may go for a walk or a hike later this afternoon.

Hopefully, taking this time to relax today will help us get through our next super busy week with a little more calm and kindness.

Only 4 weeks to SoCal! We are so looking forward to our vacation.

Today’s soccer game was a big blow-out. Caleb was kinda bummed but recovered quickly. One of my favorite things about Caleb is that he is generally pretty happy. He isn’t brooding. He doesn’t hold grudges. He isn’t really even stubborn. The things that typically frustrate us about Caleb are his tendencies to go over the top with silliness and how easily he gets distracted but really he is a pretty fantastic kid.

Sorry about your loss today bud! We are super proud of you!

Spring Sports

Hi, you’ve reached the Watters’. We are unable to be reached at this time. You may leave a message or look for our tent at Northwest Fields. We will be taking up residence there for the next 3 months. We’ll be sopping wet and muddy but having lots of fun .
Pray for a sunny sports season! Maybe we’ll see you out there? Look for game schedules to be posted within the next week.

last days of summer, first day of school

I can’t believe how fast the summer passed by! Our camping trip to Chelan was our last big event for the summer. Cam and I have decided that camping is NOT a vacation. The boys started school on Wednesday and are LOVING it so far. Sean is in 2nd grade and Caleb is in 1st. They have great teachers who are enthusiastic and encouraging — thank you God!

Our family is excited to begin our fall routine — school, AWANA, soccer (Caleb) and Thursday nights watching our favorite T.V. shows (The Office, Smallville & My Name is Earl). We are going to try to keep our schedule very empty and have more time together as a family at home. There are too many memorable moments that get missed running life at such a fast pace. I am actually looking forward to the leaves changing colors, the briskness of fall and the slower pace it brings to life.
