Soccer! (Written 11/14/2015)

Erik decided to play soccer again this fall.  He had not played a full season for almost 2 years (due to breaking his leg during spring of 2014 and playing baseball the following two seasons).  We were so blessed to have him make the RecPlus league and be placed on a team with wonderful coaches and teammates! This has been the best experience we've had in the world of sports.

They played their last game today.  It was the Kohls cup which is a national tournament.  The format is 4 vs 4 - no goalies - 20 minute games.  They played four games, winning three out of four.  A fun way to end the season!   It was a loooong day - we were at the soccer field for almost seven hours.

Lainey, Kyle, and Carson deserve spectator awards for all the soccer they have watched this fall.

We have 1 month off from soccer (hallelujah!) then futsal starts.   Erik's team will play together for winter and spring season as well.

Erik's coach, also coaches his daughters team.  Lainey will play on her team this winter as well.  Futsal should be much easier on me, as it's only once a week.

So we don't get bored - I signed the big three up for swimming lessons held at a college about 30 minutes from our house twice a week.  Good thing with that - all three have lessons at the same time and place.  I will enjoy the two weeks off from spots though!

I am SO thankful for all the hard work and effort on the part of our coaches this fall!  They have made such a difference in our lives this fall.
