Emily's Latest Love

 Emily's latest love is soccer!  She's actually been asking to play for the last year and we finally decided it wasn't just a passing phase and that the really did want to play.  (Sometimes Emily will say she wants to do something and so we'll sign her up and then she'll whine and complain about doing it after the first time or two.)  So, we've been thrilled that she's loved it and hasn't complained a bit!  And, even though she hasn't played for the last 3 years, she's got great instincts and has been playing very well, both on offense and as a goalie!

 Spring soccer sounds lovely and you'd think that it would be sunny and warm outside, right?  Well, think again.  This year we've had "Sprinter."  Not really winter in terms of the calendar, but definitely not warm enough for spring.  Both Emily's and Christian's game have been FREEZING.  Still, Emily's loved playing!  She's got a couple of friends on her team and they really came together last weekend and played well as a team (and won too!).  It was pretty cute to see the girls get all excited for one another--camaraderie and everything.

We're so thrilled Emily is enjoying this sport and can't wait for Saturday...when it's actually supposed to be warm!!!  (Finally, right?!)
