January marked the beginning of another wrestling season. This year Aron is an official coach for the team which means a lot of work for the men in our house. They practice two evenings a week for 2 hours each practice and travel to tournaments every weekend. They've only missed one tournament due to our winter vacation. Aron is pulled in every direction at the tournaments so he can coach each of the boys. It's exciting to watch Russell, but it is also exciting to watch Aron. His passion for the sport is obvious. Many of the parents have praised his coaching skills and other coaches have praised him for the sportsmanship of our team. It is awesome to see the boys cheering on the sidelines and hugging each other after matches. I never imagined loving this sport, but it has truly grown on me. I look forward to my weekends in the gym. In between matches, Sloane and I play games and color. It has become a family sport. Russell has grown so much this season. He has earned 3 first place medals and a 2nd place medal. We have regionals next week.
