Soccer season begins

Saturday morning was Caleb's first soccer practice at the YMCA. He is on the same team as his friends Emily and Sarah Kate Drown, and Johnny Linn, so that will be fun for him and fun for the parents since we will get to talk while they play! It was a hot morning, but thankfully the weather will begin to cool off a little soon. Caleb's coach is Pete Wong, and he seems like a nice guy. He is the solo coach at this time, and he said he would love an assistant coach if anyone would want to volunteer. Their practices are on Thursday afternoons at 4:00, so that may be difficult for some of the men to be there that early. They practice Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning until their games begin, and then we will have games on Saturday and practice Thursday. I'm happy with the schedule since it won't interfere with our family dinner, and we won't be going up there every other night (like we did with T-ball)! Caleb seemed to enjoy playing, although he did talk about how hot it was. I think he is really going to like it after he gets used to it. After practice was over, we made a trip to the sports store to get him some shin gaurds and socks that he needs. Now he will be all geared up for the next practice! I signed up to be the "team mom" which basically means I am in charge of getting everyone to sign up for snacks and drinks for each game. Being out in the sun really wore out our whole family. We all took naps that afternoon! Cheerleader Isabelle:
