Maya and I both had soccer practice this evening at the CCHS turf fields. Although she remains petite, she has grown a couple of inches since last season and appears noticeably stronger and faster. Here she splits two defenders during a practice drill. I picked her up at 7 PM, drove her home for a quick change, and then on to a babysitting gig, returned home and changed into my soccer gear and back to CCHS for my 8-9:30 PM practice. I enjoyed spending the rest of the evening with Maya who was content to snuggle on the couch and let me test my new camera flash system on her. Meanwhile, Jeanine and Nicolai are driving to western New York where they will visit colleges on Friday and Saturday.
