Soccer Season!

 Our schedule has exploded with Soccer! Every day is a math equation figuring out how to get each girl where they are supposed to be. A, E, and D are on three different soccer teams and they practice in three different locations (in two different towns) on the same nights. But that is better than different nights. We can at least knock it all out in one fell swoop. 

 
I can see some real improvement in all of their playing this year! Peaches has a different coach this year that she'd never met, but he is really nice and she has enjoyed playing for him. It's so nice when they get a good coach!

 
Peaches has three kids on her team from church!

 
Lou is being coached by Daddy again and also has a couple friends on her team.

 
Peanut begged us to play for the other town again this year since that's where all her friends are playing. She is good friends with 4 of the kids on her team (including 2 of her best friends), and knows several others.

 
Our first game day was cold and rainy, but the kids played hard!

 
It's crazy to me that Peanut is one of the big kids now. She looks so grown up out there. She and I went early the first day since she had an earlier game, and then she also played a little later.

 
Ready to play!

 
Lou got to be goalie! It wasn't her favorite. She was afraid the ball was going to hit her in the face.

 
 But she seems to understand the fundamentals of the game a lot better this year and is playing with much more purpose!

 
The little ones are SO cute to watch! 

 
But it takes a lot of patience to coach this age, haha.
 
  
 
Go Lou!

 
She wanted to give me hugs when the ball went out of bounds by where we were sitting. Haha.

 
She scored a goal! Whoo hoo!

 
They ended up losing, but she was so proud that she scored. :) More tomorrow!
