my soccer stars

Our soccer season is coming to an end next week, 
and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these two play!



Hamp had good fun on his 7-9 year old team.
He had many great plays and one really spectacular goal.
What made me most proud was watching him grow as a team player - he passed the ball! - and a smart player - he knew when to kick it out of bounds! - and most of all, an empathetic player - he cheered on his other team members and even stopped to help an opposing team member when they were hurt!

His favorite part was playing goalie - just like his Uncles Taylor & Alec!
He said he would be a brick wall.
And he was...

... right up until the ball hit that brick wall right smack in the face!!!!!
about half a second after impact!
No black eye, no bloody nose, and a little less confidence in the goal - but he got right back in the game!

Then there was Sam on his 5-6 year old team.
He played hard, ran fast and always celebrated with lots of cartwheels!

What a fun way to spend evenings in September...
the boys loved playing, and we loved to cheer them on!
