Happenings

Wow! Our Fall has been quite a blur of activity! Most of my days are spent working, volunteering at school, and occasional lunches with friends. Most of our evenings are spent ferrying children to their practices and games. Most of our weekends are spent watching soccer games on the field, and watching football games at Baylor and at home. Lots of activity, none too blog worthy!

Last week, I got to travel with all of our kindergartners to a Christmas Tree Farm. They had cute activities for the kids, and it was fun seeing Mary Beth in her school environment.

Saturday, we spent the morning at the soccer fields. Matthew is always fun to watch. He is such a passionate child, and nothing turns on that passion like soccer. Matthew's team playing the number one team in their division on Saturday, and they got their clocks cleaned. However, Matthew had what we believe was his best play ever. There was a penalty kick awarded to the other team. Their best player lined up right in front of Matthew (playing goalie) for the kick. He hit a line drive to the goal and Matthew stopped it! We were so proud of him! Hard to believe that we only have 2 games left. Then it's on to basketball!

Yes, that is Matthew in the blue..face planted to the ground saving a ball! No wonder that child has such bad allergies!

Mary Beth absolutely loves soccer, and we have loved seeing a new, sporty side to her. She never complains about being hot or tired, and runs around happily for an hour!A breakaway that almost ended in a goal. Just a little to the left. Oh well!
