2012 Spring Practice

As I'm sure many of you have gathered from my lack of posts, Marshall's spring season ended a little earlier than expected this year. In the scrimmage right before Spring Break he was having a fabulous game, but 20 minutes before the end his legs were taken out from under him. Verdict is a partially torn MCL and 4-6 weeks in a brace. As of now, he's 2 weeks in and finally allowed some movement. That first week was pretty painful, in the sense that he was home and couldn't run around with the big boys like he's used to! He couldn't even drive, since it was his right leg. We're all thankful that the injury doesn't involve surgery. With continued rehab and some prayers he'll be good to go come summer work-outs!

But how does such an on-the-go kid spend Spring Break when he's hardly allowed to move? Well, he hits rocks with an old baseball bat with Jerred, lets Chris spin him around for his turn with the pinata, and resorts to skee ball at the go-cart track since he can't work the pedals on the car....  Doesn't sound too bad, right??

Whoops...dents in the bat....

Gettin' good and dizzy! 

Concentration! 

Thanks for checking back, football fans! Marshall and I had such a wonderful time back home for an entire week. We're so thankful for time spent with family, just enjoying the simple things.Send some prayers for a fully healed knee and we'll see everyone back here at the beginning of June!

"They've never drove through Indiana
Met the man who plowed that earth
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
They'd understand why God made
Those fly over states"
