SOCCER!!!!!

S has been waiting, waiting, waiting to be able to play soccer. L and E have been thinking about it too (but not like S!!). So now the season is upon us... All of the games are double booked at the same time twice a week. I now fully understand why my parents dropped me off and/or let me ride with neighbors most of my soccer career.

L was pretty excited for the first practice. and got a little distracted while getting dressed. . .he forgot half of his outfit, but remembered the important new shin guards.
L & S with cousin M. . . and friends. . .we are so lucky have teams with lots of our friends. I LOVE Cub soccer...just plain fun.

Scott is a little worried about E and her noncompetitive side. She would almost rather be on the sidelines cheering. She makes up some good team chants.
I have faith that she will get it sooner or later. I started playing at 6 too. I have grat memories of mud ball and playing in the rain with HUGE mudpuddes in front of the goal (just a fact of life in OR). One of my favorite childhood memories is coming home from soccer to curl up on a warm tile floor.

We are finally, officially, a soccer family. Yeah! I think.....
