Thoughts of a first time soccer mom

With the occassion of our son's very first soccer game, I have decided to start a blog! I'm a little behind, as his first game was this last Saturday and it is now late Tuesday night, but what can I say, as I had to figure out this blogging thing.












I'll have you know that I wasn't jumping for joy at the thought of practices and games every week, but I'm so glad we took the plunge this year. It's so much fun to see Ryan so excited over the little things like new soccer shoes, meeting his friends for practice, and going to bed Friday night knowing that he has a soccer game in the morning. Isn't it great to be four and happy about all the little things in life! :)














To top things off, we have the most fantastic set of kids and parents on our team! The kids had so much fun at practice that they didn't even want to stop when their first practice was over. The kids ran their little hearts out on Saturday too, as our field was too big for their age range and they ran and ran. As you can see from Ryan's photo, he was worn out by the end of the game!

Dad was worn out too, because yes, that's him coaching Ryan's team. That's thanks to me volunteering his services as coach (but I don't think he minded at all! He's having so much fun!).














Well, that's it for my first post. Enjoy Ryan's first soccer game photos and we'll post again soon with more snapshots of family life.
