The Eagles

It’s been over a year since we’ve been able to go to one of the boys’ soccer games and I was happy to break that streak today when we went to watch Calvin play soccer for the TAISM middle school team. We picked Caleb up after school and headed out to the soccer field to watch the Eagles play a local Omani team.


It was Crazy Hair Day at school — not a permanent look

I have high hopes for this kid and his soccer skills. He’s been a natural with a soccer ball since he could walk and he’s a scrapper. 


Yea brother!!

Beautiful green grass in the middle of the desert

They lost 2 to 1, but it was a good game, especially for the first one of the season. Calvin played forward, mid-field, and defense at various points in the game. 

I’m not going to be around for a few days because we’re heading out for another camping trip tomorrow. We have a long weekend because it’s the prophet Mohammed’s birthday so we’re venturing farther out and camping at a remote beach. I’m not looking forward to sand in my sleeping bag, but everyone says this location is worth it. Happy Mohammed’s Birthday to you!
