Soccer Ben



This is Leah assuming the set picture pose she observed while team pictures were taken. She specifically asked me to get a shot of her just like this. She's quite a spitfire. It will be fun to see what she does on the soccer field some day. She definitely could hold her own when Ben and the other kids played around on the field during half time and quarter breaks.
Ben had his second season of soccer this year which he thoroughly enjoyed. In the beginning, he mastered running ahead of the ball to the other team's goal, but half way through the season he figured out how to get in the middle of the mix, and he went wild on the field. He was like this tazmanian devil working his way in and out of the pile. One game he scored five consecutive goals. After his big MVP moments, he ran to the sidelines and loudly announced, "Mom, I've scored like all the points for my team." True it was-- we'll have to work on humility along the way. It was a fun September at the soccer fields. Brent got sort of roped into coaching at the last moment, but it was a huge highlight for Ben to have his daddy right there on the field with him.
