Hurray for Spring Soccer!

We decided at the last minute to put Emily in spring soccer. She said she wanted to play and we're so glad that she did! Saturday morning was just beautiful and she had so much fun. She really started to get the idea of the game and what to do. She was also extremely tickled that her new team jerseys are blue.

Her biggest news came near the end of the game when she scored her FIRST GOAL!! We were all so excited--Emily ran over for hugs and then started jumping and dancing. We even got it on video--alas, it's a rather long video and would take a very long time to upload. So, here are some still-shots of the big game!
Emily's coach, and my friend, Rachel, leading the team in some warm ups! Go coach!

Emily, going after the ball!


Here she goes again! Look at that determination! Go Emily!
