Soccer starts...

Soccer season started up again a few weeks ago... and the boy is pleased! He LOVES soccer, his team (the Lightning), and his incredible coach.

In this past weekend's game, Joshua scored 5 goals! Wow!

Can you see the smile on his face?

Sports time

Late spring/early summer had our weekends full of Soccer & Baseball. The kids did a soccer camp every Saturday morning - which was a lot of fun. This was Lucy's first chance to play soccer... though she probably will not continue in the fall because girls play Sunday mornings, which conflicts with church. Josh had two buddies in his group, and they're hoping to keep together on the same team next fall.

Sunday afternoons found us at the ball diamond where Mark played outfielder (can you see him way out there?) on "Chin Music", one of churches 5 baseball teams. His team placed 2nd this year. Josh was pretty attentive watching the games, but did take time to play with some friends. Lucy never really paid attention, but did enjoy running around and playing at the playground. She's posing here with Abby.

As fun as these sports are, we are looking forward to the lazy, dog days of summer ahead!

Soccer Wind-up & Little chefs

The last weekend of April brought a soccer wind-up party for Josh's winning Soccer team: the Poco Lightning.
Coach Caldwell chats with the team before handing out trophies for the season.
Yeah Team!
Josh & Lucy also love to help in the kitchen. Here they are grating Mozzarella and mixing cottage cheese, parmesan, oregano and eggs for Lasagna!
TaDa! Adding the last layer of sauce!

One Fine Day

We had a busy day today: Wee College ended today, and then Joshua had his soccer year-end tournament. He has enjoyed both programs, and we were glad to celebrate the end of a good season. The Highlights: Joshua recited Acts 1:8 and named the books of the Bible from "Paul's Letters". Then, Joshua's second soccer game today was one of his best ever: great passing, great running, and many goals!
