Greetings from a soccer mom! We're almost done with soccer season! This has been our family's first experience and it's been wonderful (especially now that it's cooled off some).
Daddy has been Bubba's coach and it's been so much fun. He's been learning the basics of the game and we can see a huge improvement from the beginning of the season. I can see the love of soccer (heck, any sport) growing daily. He's always been athletic, much to his father's great pride! I can see more soccer (and football, baseball, basketball) in our future. He does like to exaggerate the number of goals he scores at each game. Apparently, three isn't enough. It has to be inflated to four.
Gi-Gi has been having a blast! What a difference from ballet! It's been great watching a different part of her be developed. She's doing a great job on the defense and is constantly being complimented by her coach. She's just eating it up. This is a great way to handle her competetive side. There was a funny/sad little incident where she just launched the soccer ball when it came to her during a game. Unfortunately, it hit an opponent's nose. The game stopped, which was a great time for her to deal with emotions and for us to help her overcome tears.
Even though it's kept us busy, this was definitely something worthwhile. We'll be out there again next fall!

I found it! And it's good, although a year between posts does seem a bit much. The soccer pictures are great!
The other comment was from me (as in Megan) but I don't have an account so I had to use my 9-year-old's info. Haha. That's a sign of the times, huh?
He looks like he's taking his game pretty seriously.
