After a long absence from Blogging, i feel its high time to start doing things a little more often. Life takes over and before you know, kids are grown up.
For the first time, we had all 3 kids in organized sports at the same time. Eva on Mondays, Faith on Tuesdays, Isaac on Wednesdays and Swimming for the older two on thursdays. Was quite busy but a lot of fun
Faithy hasn't quite got the concept of soccer yet... she's young but most times she was either coming off the field for snack, sleeping with her head on the ball or her shirt pulled up over her head. She's quite a card.
Eva did really well this year on the Mackay Insurance Fuscia team. Perhaps new corporate colors are in the future. She scored 2 goals this year... one on the first day and one on the last day. She decided she liked defence and took her job very seriously. One of her last games, she got a break and almost was in on a break away... a few more steps and she would have been all alone and get the shot on net. Instead she stopped, passed the ball, and ran like mad to get back to her defensive position. She definately does not get this trait from me:)
Isaac had another good year in soccer. Throughout the year, he was near the top of the team in scoring with 6 goals. In playoffs, in 4 games, he scored 9 times. I helped coach the team and we went from being near the bottom of the pack in regular season to playing in the finals. After a hard fought playoffs, the boys came up a little short.
I'm a firm believer that sports teaches our kids several good traits and also some hard valuable lessons. You have to committ, you have to work hard, your teammates are relying on you and sometimes things dont work out the way you want them too
I hated soccer growing up. Still not a big fan.. but thankful for what soccer teaches our kids
