Yeah! I love soccer season! I'm not particularly fond of waking up early on a Saturday morning, but I love it when our whole family is in the car traveling to the soccer field to hang out there for hours on Saturday! Great family memories and traditions, we've been doing this nearly every spring and fall for 6.5 years! 
Waveney's game was a lot of fun! The weather was warm, the sun was shining, and we played AWESOME! The team we played against looked as though they just barely assembed before our game. Players who had never played together before and a coach who was not a parent, and didn't know the children very well. Our team has been playing together for 3 years and has been playing well all those years. I felt bad for the other team. They only made it on offense maybe 5 times during the game. We moved our kids around to try and give the other team a chance to play more offense, ...and it helped some, but ultimatly what it did was allow 6 different kids a chance to score, when normally only 2-3 kids score the whole season! I am proud to say that Waveney was one of those kids! Yeah!! She had 4 or 5 close calls too, ...if we can just train her to use the correct foot, she'd be AWESOME! She's the least agile of my kids, ...I guess that is why swimming and running are her things! :)

We head to Florida this next week for Spring Break. So more soccer updates will come after April 11th! In the meantime I'll blog about our Florida adventures!
Austin participated in a soccer clinic through the winter. He has gotten better with his foot work, speed and agility! I didn't get to attend his game, due to my church responsibilities, but that is okay. It was between 35-45 degrees outside for Austin's game. The first half of the game some of the kid didn't move much because they were frozen. Austin played well, he played goalie 2 quarters and stopped numerous goals! He also played midfield and had some pretty key stops and passes. We won the game 2-1! I am so proud of the team, they are going to be fun to watch this season. This will be Austin's last year with the Y. Next fall he will join a competitive league to prepare him for high school soccer.
