We are in full soccer season. For Sept and Oct all our Saturdays will be soccer Saturdays. Luckily the kids were not playing at the same time today so Matt and I were able to watch both kids play their entire games. Ella Catherine's game was first at 9am. She was team captain today and started off playing offense. However, the goalie on her team was hurt early on in the game and as a result she volunteered to play goalie the second half of the game. I was super nervous for her but she didn't seem nervous a bit! She played a shut out. Unfortunately, her team lost but the other team did not score on her. She SHUT EM OUT!! Her coach was talking to Matt after the game and said, "I think I've found myself a new goalie."
We had a bit of a break before Carter's game. He played at 11:00. It offered some time for Matt to kick around the soccer ball with the older kids. Carter started the game also on offense. He is really starting to be a bit more interactive in the game. Following the ball well and getting in there to kick it. He also ended up playing goalie at the end of his game. He had some great stops. It was a great day to spend the morning at the soccer field.

| All Smiles after the game. She took about 20-30 minutes to chill out before eating and drinking her after game snacks, Said she was so nervous she felt sick. Would have never known she was nervous. She looked cool as a cucumber when she was playing. |
