I stopped to do a little birding on my way into work today.

Maya and I found the new gosslings in the pond under the close supervision of their mom and dad.

Half time rest.

Maya intercepts the ball and breaks for the net. She scored three goals to help her team win.

When asked to identify his favorite play of the game he cites this slide tackle where he cleanly strips the ball from his opponent while feeding him a dirt sandwich. What does it say about your children when they like knocking people over?

During the game Kyle made one run which a parent described as the “Manly Run”. He beat a total of 5 defenders and carried the ball 3/4 the length of the field. At one point he lost the ball to a pair of defenders but some how, through sheer determination, managed to steal it back and continue down the field.
