Finally!

The drought is officially over! This past Sunday, Lucas scored his first hockey goal in what feels like forever. It was actually his second year of Novice, which would put that goal in either winter 2015 or spring 2016, but that's still a long damn time.

Not only did he score, but it was probably the best-looking goal in a game that had a lot of ugly bounce goals. Lucas got the puck in his zone, didn't see anyone to pass to so he headed up the ice. He got around 2 or 3 opponents and after entering their zone, he blasted a wrist shot over the goalie's shoulder. To say I was excited is a massive understatement.

Unfortunately, his team lost 5-3, but he played great. Not only did he get the goal, but he was a +1. The only goal scored for either team while he was on the ice was his own. I knew he would play well since he is in House B for a second year, and he's definitely meeting my expectations, possibly even exceeding them.

Lacrosse wraps up this weekend, and he's entering his second weekend of basketball (they won their first game by 5 points on Sunday) so it will be a busy sports weekend. Marilu and I are heading down to New York to see a concert on Saturday so it'll be my mom experiencing all the fun.

Oh, in non-sports news, Lucas got a 97 on a math test this week. I think that may be his highest mark on a test in his school career so it's been an all-around good week for him.

That's all for now.
