Soccer is both extremely fun and extremely annoying. Snow, rain, cold, you get the picture. Plus the fact that there are two games a week… PER CHILD. Yeah. Soccer season pretty much runs your life for the 8 weeks your involved in it.
Here is a cute picture of Paige, Natalie and Mason. Paige is my friend Metta’s daughter. I watch her three times a week and Metta watches Natalie twice a week. This arrangement has worked really well for us. Metta was able to go to school, and I was able to work. Plus Paige and Nat are like best friends now.
BTW… Natalie is OLDER than Paige. Natalie got my “short” gene. /sigh
Here is a picture of Mason. I am so proud of him this year. He is suddenly quite a good soccer player. He even scores the most goals on his team. Unfortunately his team usually loses. Hopefully they can win one.
Here is a picture of Natalie running. Until last week she has been timid in soccer. She still hasn’t got a goal, but hopefully she will. The girl running with her on the other hand got 7 goals today. All by herself. She is in Natalie’s class and a good friend of Nats.
Isn’t Natalie’s coach cute? Natalie is lucky enough this year to have her daddy be the coach. He is a great coach. All of the parents love him. All of the kids really like him. Thank you Max!

What great pictures Bridge. I have mixed feelings about the crazy soccer for kids stuff but I know it is valuable for them to be a part of team sports. I never was and I can see the damage done in my timid personality and non competitive ways. Anyhow, I bet Max is an excellent coach and what parent wouldn’t love him and his skills. It’s fun to see you both in the parental roll.
Wow I have had a feast of posts since I was checking elsewhere thinking there wouldn’t be an update here
WHat an awesome surprise!
I love the pictures of the kids playing and since I was a little soccer player with yellow and blue uniforms for years it brings back the awesome memories of grass, sweat, and mud smells. OHH I love it.
The picture of Max and Nat is awesome! Max you are looking even more handsome with age. How is that fair?
