Max's Weekend in Pictures

We all know Max and we all know how much he LOVES sports so this season has been particularly exciting for him as he got to try his hand at a new sport, lacrosse! As always we need to thank Coach Tav and his organization Kids Playing for Kids as well as all the wonderful kids playing for the Arrowhead Warriors for everything they do for Max. The kindness shown Max (and by default us) continues to be overwhelming from this incredible group of folks! 

Again, knowing Max it's all about dressing the part so he was thrilled to be outfitted with gear from some very generous folks at Elite Lacrosse in Scottsdale. However, some very cool kids and their coaches from Scottsdale Lacrosse Club's Mustangs team took it one step further after Saturday's game when they presented Max with his very own Mustang's jersey. Max was thrilled to add to his sports' jersey collection! Perhaps one of the highlights in all of this is reflected in what I like to refer to as a "Maxism", i.e. some pearl of wisdom that makes sense only in Max's world. It seems that after the kids presented Max with his new jersey he went up to the coach's son and said, "thank you so much for the new jersey but you know I can't change teams". So there you have it...my son is nothing if not polite, egotistical but polite!

A very BIG thank you to everyone who has gone above and beyond in honoring Max and his desire to be part of a team. I can only hope that the shear joy on his face and the tears in my eyes has clearly demonstrated to them the power of kindness.
