Soccer Mania

We are nearly finished with our Spring soccer season. Caleb played his final game of the season last night...the championship game, which his team won. He was excited that now he had his own trophy, to add to the collection of trophies and medals that the boys have in their room. He needed a gentle reminder that it was okay to leave the trophy in the car for his brother's soccer game, and not carry it around.

Nate is almost finished with his season. He has been the center mid-fielder this year, but you wouldn't know what his position is, as he is always covering the whole field. He had two goals today, the first a header from a beautiful free kick. The second goal he got a break-away and went one on one with the goal keeper, kicking the ball to the left far post after a feint to the right.

Lauren has one game left in her schedule. She has only been to two games, as the weather on Wednesdays has been unusually bad this Spring, and her games have been canceled (thus no pictures of Lauren playing soccer this season). She is excited to play on a club team this Fall with her best friend.

This Fall we'll add Ashlyn to the soccer schedule. That should make things very exciting with all the overlapping of games and practices. I remember when I was in High School, I attened one cold and windy soccer game. I was glad to leave early and I didn't care to watch another game again. That was my first experience with soccer, and I never would have thought that I would eventually become a "Soccer Mom." But I am through and through, and I love it!
