Baseball and Soccer

A spring full of soccer and baseball.  Its been busy. I am tired of running from field to field. I LOVE watching my kids play, but I love when we have a break from it.  All four kids were on very good teams this spring and everyone but Anika's team made it to the final tournament - only the top four teams in the league in each age group make it.  Anika started the season as defense and mid field and ended the season as the lone goalie.  She quite enjoyed it and is ready for next fall  - as the goalie.  She wasn't even sure she wanted to play again because she has to move up a level and she has made some good friends on this team.  She will miss them, and have a new coach, which will also be a change, but hopefully a good one. All four had winning seasons. All four scored at least one goal this year.  All four played goalie at least once. All four play for the local rec league - Mona Shores Sailors - and there are not many people from school in the league, so they have had to get to know others, which has been good for all of us.  So, next fall will be a new adventure - new teams for Anika, Brandon and Jessica, and probably a bit of a change of teammates for Maria. And it will be a change for me on the side lines - trying to figure out which parents are on our team and which ones are from the opponent!

Great season guys!

And of course, there's baseball!  He loves to play catcher and does a great job.  He tried pitcher once and it didn't go so well.  He wants to keep practicing and try again before the season is up - so off to the field we will go!
