SOCCER

Marin had her first soccer game today. She did her best to keep up with a bunch of aggressive boys but she was definitely a cautious player. ;o) She was so cute. I found out later from the assistant coach that she played every quarter except for the last couple of minutes of the last one. Honestly, I had NO idea they even were keeping time/quarters?!?!? So...go Marin! She did stand out there a few times watching instead of actually doing anything. But, hey, Burke and I were just proud she didn't cry any (That happened a lot with teammates....). And out little buddy Graham stood out there and starting singing Itsy Bitsy Spider. Oh my word. It was so hilarious. Man, he is cute. But they all did super and I think they will enjoy it more and more as they play!

Soccer companies apparently don' tmake socks/shin guards/cleats for  REALLY REALLY small people.
Bless her...she played as best as she could with what she had.
We did find some "gear" that may fit her better for the next game. We will have to see if she will wear it or not though. ;o)

She calls her jersey her "soccer dress". 

#8!
She really wanted the number 5. Talked about it at home before we left so when her Aunt Carolyn sent a picture of her big boy cousins in their soccer jersey proudly wearing the #8 as well....it made us all HAPPY!!
I love that they all have the same number. Sweet, Sweet!

Her team...The Spiders.

It's her turn to do the drill. 

Go Graham, go! 

The cheering section. 

 It's kinda funny that they have the exact same expression on their face. 

And Hollis only stole the cone 3 times. 

Go Marin!
