Soccer Season has started!

Well .... our days of a calm, relaxed lifestyle have ended. All 3 boys have decided that they want to play soccer. It will be Will & Andy's first time to play soccer or any organized sport. Ben has tried a few (soccer, baseball, basketball, and golf) and didn't stick w/them too long. But has decided he wants to try soccer again.

Ben has started practice, and has been to one practice. It was tough on him b/c he's not in the best of shape. He's been very sedentary for awhile. Playing too many video games. It was an hour and a half of running and doing drills. He made it through but he was tired. He was sore for a few days and it took him awhile to recooperate. He will practice 2x's a week for an hour and a half. His team name is Venom.

Andy had a meeting and got to meet his team and coach. We met at McDonald's for the meeting. All the kids got along really well. I am really excited about the coach. He's from Peru and played professional Soccer in Peru. He's excited to teach the kids the fundamentals of soccer instead of just running the field and kicking the ball around. Pretty excited about that. He will practice 1x a week on Sundays for an hour. His team name is Fusion.

Will had his first practice tonight. He had a great time and was so excited to go. He will practice only once a week, on Thursdays. He really liked his coach and all his teammates. It was such a joy to see him so excited about soccer. His team is the Rascals.

I am excited for them all to play. And Andy and Will are really excited. It's going to be a busy season for us, but it will be great. Practices 3 nights a week, and Taekwondo one night a week. Let the fun begin!

Happy Soccer Season!!
