I just have to brag on my kids a bit (and I'll scan their soccer pics later this week, no scanner at home)....
Nick's on a team, the Mutiny, with the same pair of coaches he had two years ago, and they're currently in first place in their division. (Two years ago, they came in last or next to last!) He's learned a lot from these coaches and is having a really good season. And of course he's happy to be on a winning team for a change, since the team he was on last year tied for last or something like that too!
Elisabeth is just making me so proud every week she plays a game! Two years ago she played on a U4 team, and to get her to participate in the games I had to get out on the field with her. So frustrating. Last year we didn't have her play, but she was not happy about that after sitting through Nick's games every week. So we decided to give it a try again this year. She hasn't fussed about anything, and she gets out there and does a pretty good job. She needs to be a little more aggressive, and have a stronger kick, but I'm so proud of her. She got out there today and played defense, and I have to say she did a pretty darn good job at keeping the ball away from the goal!
Now about football....all I have to say is that the Bucs are a pretty young team, we'll be back in the mix of things next year, so watch out!!!
