Soccer has begun...

Soccer season has begun and is off to a great start!
Katelyn is on team France. It is going to be a big difference this year for her as her team is younger and a lot less skilled then it was last year. Last year her team had a lot of incredible natural talent so they dominated every game. It is going to be very different, but I think good for her to learn that you don't always win. I just hope that it will be tons of fun anyway! Not to mention, the team may surprise us!
Update: Tonight was Katelyn's second game and they won 7 to nothing! Katelyn even scored two goals! Go France!

Connor also started soccer. Last year Connor had a really tough time getting into soccer, actually he never really got into it. He really didn't like it at all and ended up not finishing the season. This year he wanted to try again and we definitely wanted to give him the chance. I was especially nervous when the weather was pouring rain and chilly, plus I had to wake him up for his 8am game (I never have to wake him up).
Boy, I am glad we did! He did awesome! He had a blast. The weather didn't deter him one bit! He did so well with his confidence as well as his soccer skills. I am so proud of him and so glad we gave it another chance!
Chris and I loved soccer as kids so I am really excited to see our kids now enjoying it!
