Soccer update

Well, I am happy to report that this week Anna did SO much better than last week. I wish that I had brought my camera with me! She played hard. She ran so fast up and down the field. It was so cute to see the determination on her face. She even had her tongue hanging out! She didn't really make it to the ball but she came close. In her defense, she's got some really fast and more aggressive kids on her team (they are doing so well!). Her Daddy let her do the kick off once so she did get to kick the ball during an actual game.

Of course, she had to goof off too. Once during her break she told me she was going to go down to the end of the field to visit with her friend Faith. When Chris called her to come back in the game she was no where to be found. Our hearts actually stopped for a minute. Faith was missing too. Then, we all looked down at the opposite end of the field and found them both playing around a tree! We are going to have to have a talk about that.

Next, it was time for a kick off and the other team's Coach asked Chris if his players were ready. Chris said, "Yeah". Then the Coach said, "Are you sure about that?" Chris turned around to find Anna and another player lying on the field picking grass. Oh well, at least they are having fun.

Go Tornados!
