Game Day

Saturday was Erik’s first game.  On Friday night he went out to Ryan’s practice to play catch with Harvey.  He came home an allergic mess.  He could barely open his red and swollen eyes.  He has had hives after playing in the grass before.  We have never nailed down what is going on.  It isn’t a consistent thing.  I was worried he was going to miss the big game.  I gave him some medicine to ease the symptoms and let him fall asleep on me on the couch.  In the morning he was almost better.  I ran out and got something else for him to take before the game.  He looked pretty rough, but felt better and played like a pro.

Erik was so happy to carry on with the number 1.  He isn’t the shortest though, the coaches just picked it for him.  He loves that it’s Ryan’s first number too.

Erik's first game fans

Thanks to the fans for all of their support!

 

I can’t believe it, but my camera died.  Not the battery…but a total death in the middle of Erik’s first game.  I did manage to get about 200 pictures in before the shutter stopped shuttering, but what a bummer!
