My youngest got his first college wrestling win up in New York earlier this month. I made the trip, glad I did.

My oldest son finally moved out of the basement. Apparently it’s “too cold” and he wants a “real bed”. Dang spoiled 9 year olds.

The kid made the All Area Team for the WSJ. Pretty cool. They missed on his info though. He's a Jr and nowhere near 6'3".
So some of you know my son started a lawn care business this summer and he has been doing very well which makes me super proud but lets get to the story.
the other day we were standing in his new shed he built: Sons trailer build and he was telling me about a lady that owed him money. He said she was a single mom with 2 kids and he has been letting her slide on payments as she mentioned being tight and losing one of her jobs. He cuts the neighbors yard also so he continued to cut her lawn so it would look nice for the neighborhood and reduced her fee to help her.
Well he told me she reached out 2 weeks before Christmas and told him she will not be able to pay the full amount until maybe the new year and it will have to be installments as she does not even have money to buy her kids gifts and pay him.
So he called her and made a deal. he said for her to take the money she owed him and use some of it to buy Christmas gifts for her kids and if she sent him photos of the receipts he will void what she owes him so the kids can have a nice Christmas as he did not feel they should suffer due to her being on hard times. She did exactly that and he wished her a Merry Christmas and her kids were able to have a nice Christmas. I am so proud that he understands it is better to give than receive.

Girls decided to get creative today. I really liked the end result, been wanting to do a family art project because I don’t wanna pay gallery prices, and I love abstract. no hardwoods were defaced during this interaction…

Eli managed 3rd team all state this year. I'm grateful for that, but his stats are better than most of the others. Not bitter at all, lol.
