Saturday = Soccer

Soccer games began last Saturday, which means that we'll be spending the next two months' worth of Saturdays at the soccer field.  This is Ben's first year and Kara's second.

Ben is a Ninja Turtle, which is what happens when you let the kids on the team vote on the team name.  Even though it's like watching ants surround a single piece of candy, it's fun to watch Ben play and be part of a team.

The majority of girls on Kara's team have never played soccer, so we already feel like it's going to be a tough season, but Kara definitely understands and executes her role of defensive specialist.  

Jason has been a good sport to sit on the sidelines and cheer... for two games.  As long as we've got Grandma and some snacks, we're all good.

Despite the heat and being on the losing end of the scoreboard (even though they don't keep an official score, but every parent does), our kids are all smiles, very positive and having a great time.

We could not be more proud.
