Our Number 21

 
On Saturday, October 18, 
Nathan became the
          honorary captain of the 13 yr old's football team for Olympus High School---Yay! Nathan!
                        He was able to go out and even call the coin toss!
                                                               He is so proud of himself!
                                                                     and his teammates!
                                                                       cheering them on!
                                                         deep in thought ( and getting a little tired)
                                                   This is Mica Moseley who made it all happen...
                                                                        Father and son...
                                                 Even the flag guys and refs called him by name
                                                                       What a face!
                                                  When they'd break they'd say "1,2,3 NATHAN"!
                                                         Adam Sandler better watch out!
                                             One of the boys said " I've never met anyone as
                                                neat as you Nathan"
                                             At the end of the game, pictures for everyone.  The coach didn't
                                    know it but the #21 is significant because Down Syndrome is Trisomy 21,
                                     and then the score ended up being 21 to nothing ---for our team!
                                           The whole team including coaches signed a football for Nathan
                                                and he has made a lot of new,cool friends now!
