SOCCER MOM!!!!

Well....more like Soccer mom AND dad! :) We are so proud of the little man! He had his very first soccer practice last night! The first sports practice of his life! What a fun time! He is just such a BIG boy! He has his first game next Saturday!

Look at that form!

Buddies!

Stretch high over your head!

Such concentration!

Jack's team is the Chiefs! Gooooooo Chiefs! He knows a few of the boys on his team and had fun running around with them! The coach told us that there would probably be lots of crying but that we would have lots of fun too! Jack made it through practice with a smile on his face the whole time, so we would say it was a success! They did some stretching, some drills (dribbling around the cones with the ball), tried to kick the ball to get the coach (I think this was Jack's favorite), practiced kicking into the goal, and ended with a scrimmage! Now that was entertaining! That is a bunch of little ones chasing after the ball. It was so cute! Jack actually got the ball and kicked it into the goal (it MIGHT have been the wrong goal..but who cares!) We cheered him on! He asked later, "why were you cheering?!" We told him all night what a great job he did and that we were so proud! We can't believe he is so big! What a little man!!!!

Here are a few more pictures from the past week! Poppa came down to celebrate a birthday lunch with us last weekend (he braved it in the sick house! Hahahaha!) Lucy is doing great this week and is 100% back to herself! It was so good to hear her giggle and squeal! Our happy little girl was so pitiful last week! It's been a good week and we are looking forward to the weekend together!
