We've been busy the past few months with soccer and gymnastics. It is amazing how much the girls have learned and being involved with sports is a great way to meet new people. Emily wasn't old enough to play in the soccer program we chose, but she loved gymnastics! Watching Lauren play soccer was amazing. She has come so far from the days of picking flowers, watching clouds overhead, and getting tired after just a few minutes. I think my favorite thing about watching her play is that even though she is right in the middle of the action and doing her best to score or pass to her teammates, she is so sweet about it. In the last game, another girl kept grabbing her jersey to keep Lauren from moving the ball down the field. After a couple of minutes, it became clear the other coach wasn't going to do anything. I was really frustrated and wanted to tell Lauren to give the girl a good hard shove, but Lauren never lost her cool or got mad. She just tried to dodge the girl as best she could. Usually, I'm glad to be done with soccer, but I'm actually a little sad and looking forward to next season!
