Let the season begin


Today was Emma's first soccer game. Abigail at this age played soccer for 2 seasons and then hung up her cleats for more dance shoes. Now, its Emma's turn to give it a try. Being the second time around, its a lot easier to be a 'parent' because you know what's going on, how the girls will grow throughout the season, etc.


Emma went out despite a slightly runny nose and was really excited about playing. Luckily, our team had one girl that was really good and fast and allowed us to win the game (seems they are actually keeping score this year in our U5 girls league). The final was 10-9. Emma got in a couple of good kicks and I think some experience to grow on. Looks like we'll be spending some time practicing in the back yard this week.

What cute pictures.
Emma looks like she definitely knows what she is doing out there.
Glad they won their first game (last season, we weren't supposed to take score yet everyone still knew who won/lost)
