Soccer Saturdays

Since age three, Danny has played soccer every fall and spring. But it wasn't really until we had two soccer players that I felt we could consider our Saturdays devoted to the sport. Now in her second year, and still very gung-ho about it, I think it's safe to say that Laura is in it for the long haul - and so are our Saturday mornings.

Thankfully, both kids still play for the Y, which means they each only practice once a week, and the practices and games are mercifully close to our home. It's proving to be a great way for the kids to maintain contact with friends from the neighborhood and swim team, too. (This is assuming people remain friends with us despite Laura mowing over their daughters in order to take the ball and score...)

  Here's to many more weekends on the pitch!
