Carrie watched as Adam ran out onto the Cowboys field, wearing number 10.

"There he goes mom," Emma said from beside her.

Billie peered over her mother's shoulder. "I see him!"

Harrison stood on the sidelines, wearing his headset, and directing players. Adam ran from the huddle, back by the sidelines as the ball was snapped. He shot down the field, catching the pass for his first NFL reception. Carrie cheered along with the rest of the crowd.

Harrison jumped, throwing his papers on the turf. "Why's everybody happy grandma?"

Carrie picked up her granddaughter and set her on her lap. "That was your daddy's first NFL reception. The first of many..."
