Umm....not sure where the idea that Scrapbook 101 closing came from, but that is definitely NOT the case. Not are they still in business, but are in the process of building a BIGGER store.
Also, when I said one of "our" kids it isn't my personal biological child. But any of the boys on the team in a sense belong to all the parents. Jesse is out now from the latest word - an opposing player came down with what was essentially a chop block to the back of his neck as he was attempting to catch a pass. (For those not well versed in football ANY contact from a defender BEFORE the receiver has possession of the ball is considered pass interference and the type of contact in this case should have been called as a personal foul) It caused his neck to "snap" and pushed him towards the ground at an odd angle. The long and short is that he hit the ground hard and in such a way that his spine and neck hyperextended, and his mouth piece jabbed into that little bridge of skin between the upper lip and jaw. Of course there was also concern of concussion, especially since he was out cold on the field for more than a minute. Thankfully it looks like there won't be any long term or permanent damage.
Mine isn't actually on the field this year due to a couple of factors, most of which could have been dealt with except for an injured knee. He took a hit last year, and it never healed correctly. Which I didn't know! Denial is an amazing thing in a high schooler! Finally found out that over the summer with all the backpacking he did it just got worse. He is doing all of the filming, etc and was helping the trainer with equipment a couple of weeks ago and she caught that he was limping rather noticeably. Apparently he didn't think about hiding it from her. She assessed it, and had the team doc look at it - he heads for the orthopedic surgeon for a more complete assessment on the 29th!
Anyway, that all made for a lot of energy to use putting pages together!
