AH! I'm a Soccer Mom...Now all I need is the minivan!!

Here is Sabrina during practice. She is actually pretty good, and caught on super fast.

Well, here it is, that day Sabrina has looked forward to for a few weeks. She starts Soccer today. Here she is in her uniform. She looks so cute. It was a little rough. She has never played sports like this before. She is such a good girl, and willing to share everything she has. She always plays nicely with everyone, and makes sure that no one is left out. Well this soccer thing was a little rough on her. The second half of the game she got into it, but not before she had a melt down. She was running up and down the field like she was supposed to to, but she wasn't as aggressive as some of these girls were, and then hung back to let them go at the ball. I had to explain to her that it was ok to get in there, and steal the ball, and kick it between her team. Then every time we would yell out "Great Job Sabrina" or "Way to go Sabrina" when she did something great, she got distracted, and turned to look at us, and then lost her focus. But over all she did a marvelous job, and in the end after a few times on the side, and a big bottle of water, and some encouraging words from her coach, she had a great time, and is ready again for next Saturday.
Before the game, all the kids were practicing on the sidelines with the ball. It was really cute, and all kids had fun. Even Nessie and Isaac had fun cheering on Sabrina. It was nice to see her run and get some exercise.

That is great!! (I tried to post on the last one and it wouldn't let me.) I loved Soccer growing up!!! They really are so cute. How have things worked out with the teachers and Vanessa since the whole mortifying moment?? I've been thinking about you and that moment and I still think "yikes" everytime. Hope all goes will. We love you guys
