Soccer Story

Patrick's first soccer experience has gotten off to a rough start, inasmuch as it keeps raining, so five weeks in we've only played one game. We have had a few practices, though, so we're still getting a chance to see how he likes it. I'm not sure he's totally sold on the sport, but to give him credit, he tries 100%. And he looks darn good doing it...

These pictures above are from our one game back during the last weekend in March. Last Saturday's got rained out and the make-up game was tonight and it also got rained out after about 15 minutes of play. I hope they just decide to forget about re-scheduling at this point, especially for the Under 6 teams...like it really matters who wins.

The team prayer right before the game started tonight. Could it get any cuter?

Apparently it can! Ben hooked up with another little bro named Tyler and they found an unused field to kick a ball around on. We looked over and they were sitting on the balls chatting earnestly, probably about the weather. It was the cutest thing ever.

Tomorrow we're headed to David and Sandi's house for the weekend to baptize lil' Brendan. Got my camera packed and ready...let's hope it doesn't get too chilly. I've gotten used to the warm temps and I'm not sure I can handle too close to freezing! Have a great weekend!
