1st Day of Soccer

Today was the 1st day of soccer for Maggie and Lincoln. They both play at Franklin Road Baptist Church. This is Maggie's 5th year and Lincoln's 2nd to play.

Lincoln's team is THE BLAST and they didn't do so well today. They lost 6-0. But he's learning the game and he's having so much fun doing it. As you can see from one of the pictures, he played goalie for half of the game, the half AFTER 4 of the points were scored. He only let in 2 goals and we're proud of him. He has a great coach this year.

It's all about the snack afterward

Maggie moved up to the older girls' league this year. She's playing with girls that are 13 - 18. Thankfully, most all the girls on her team are tall and wiry like her and they're quick. I was a little worried about Maggie playing with the older girls but she held her own today by scoring the first 2 goals of the game and season. We won the game 5-4. I was so proud of her. She kept getting compliments from the other teams' coach, I think she was a little embarassed. Her team's name, by the way, is THE GECKOS and they have lime green shirts - what a hoot! She's on the team with 2 of her great friends from Franklin Road Christian School, Jenna & Bitsy.
