Yeah, Baby



That's an honest to God, no filter added typical southern California sunset.  Yeah, baby.


Here are some shots of my baby. Long-time readers might remember that this baby was cut from the baseball team of his new high school, that he was heart-broken, that his mama was even more heart-broken for him, but that after a period of mourning, he picked himself up and threw himself into lacrosse. His high school started a lacrosse team this spring, and Henry is not only co-captain but playing some of the best lacrosse of his life. I am so proud of the man that he's becoming. No filter added.

Yeah, baby.

    Those are quite the gladiator-esque helmets! I did not know you wear helmets for lacrosse! Or maybe it was a memory jacked by ECT... either way, I felt enlightened by this post! Way to go Mr. Henry!

    We experience their rejections right along with them. But oh boy; the joy when they overcome--- nothing quite compares. Love the pics.

    It's great the way the sun sets but then rises again and again, not only literally. Good on your son, for keeping on trying. It's the only way to get ahead.

    Lacrosse is such a bad-ass sport! And talk about a come-back kid! Give him some lemons, I'm craving lemonade. You know, there's a lot of exciting scholarship opportunities in lacrosse. Just sayin'. Go Henry!

    Saw one of those SoCal sunsets in January from Venice Beach. Magical!

    I'm not one for watching sports but I used to love watching my son play basketball. Henry is a fine looking young man and when I see photos of him with Sophie he appears to be a very kind young man as well.

    I remember well! Heck, I'm proud too! What a handsome young man, and stalwart somehow. Good job, mama.
