It is football season for everyone. For my family football season is much more consuming than it might be for the rest of you. It is 7 days a week at the Bundy house. I leave before my family is awake and if I rush I get home in time to put Blake to bed. Thursday and Friday are game days and I normally don't get to see the old fam. on those days. Saturday is film early in the morning until afternoon and Sunday after church is game prep time for next week. There are so many parts of my job that I love and there are parts of my job make me question what I am doing. Is that normal? What do you do?, and do you love all of your job?
Anna is such a cool little girl. So much easier than Blake was, which is an answer to prayer. Shar is alone a lot during the fall and to have a good infant along with Blake makes her life a little bit better. Anna has a great laugh. It is almost a chuckle. She is sweet little girl. Just what Sharla wanted, and deserves in my opinion.
Blake is talking more. Saying short phrases. If he knew he was talking back I would get on him, but he is really just answering my requests. I ask him to come here and he replies "I'm coming dada" even though he is not moving toward me. He hates it when you pull on his shirt. "Stop pulling my shirt dada". He is beginning to have to ability to respond based on what he likes or what is bothering him. It's cool to watch him grow up. Saturday afternoon he said "yes sir" for the first time without being prompted. It made me smile. Later that evening he said "yes sir" to Shar, so we now have something to work on; "yes mam".
Have a great day.

Great picture of the family. Y'all look good in red and white. Good luck with the rest of football season - I get tired just reading your blog. I can't imagine actually putting all those hours in.
By the way, I'm kind of hacked at our head coach right now - but then I remember that you're a coach and I understand a lot better.
Byron,
Yea, I think Dana knows...but which one? This blog (which is rarely updated), the youth group blog or the photography site (she does know about that one).
I can completely understand what you're talking about. Had a coach for a dad, you know. The good part is that I don't recall much about him being gone. Those feelings were probably displaced with a great sense of pride as I watched him on the sidelines, rushing to the aid of a fallen player and hearing those around me say, "It's OK, coach Scott will take care of him." Yep, that's my dad.
It's perfectly normal to have the feelings you described and to question exactly what you're doing. When you stop questioning...well, that's when you should worry.
Hope to see you all soon. Good luck with the rest of the season (except for Temple, of course). Tell Sharla we said hi and to keep us in mind for a photoshoot of the kids next time we're down (shameless, I know).

Coach, That's an awesome picture of you and the fam. Man I miss you guys. Mainly Sharla and her cookies.
Hey I feel ya on the job. I really could care less about it except that it pays the bills. What I really love doing is the work I do with Young Life. I tell people now that I work at eds to support my Young Life habit. I can't tell you how worthless my life would be if all I did was my day job. I know I'm so thankfull that I can leave work and go act a fool of myself with a bunch of high school kids so they can laugh at me, and it's all for the Lord.
Thank goodness for day jobs that pay the bills and the Lord's work to give my life meanning.
