Today is a red-letter day for sure.
Throughout the season, we have encouraged both Harry and Zoe to really let loose on the field. It’s not been easy for them; they’re both so polite that they’re afraid to take the ball away from another player during the game. It’s rude, after all. Continue reading ‘Harry Scored A Goal!’
Soccer season started yesterday, and Harry got to play his first game. Needless to say, both Daniele and I were there, cameras in hand, and got a whole slew of photographs.
Harry was a dynamo in soccer shorts. After two seasons of watching his sister get to play soccer, this was his turn to shine, and he was positively glowing. It was a windy day, and everyone was bundled up tightly, but that didn’t stop the kids from having a great game.
Unfortunately, Zoe had a nasty stomach ache and fever that morning, so she wasn’t able to join her team for their first game. However, next week she’ll get a chance to go out on the field and show her stuff.
You can, as always, check out the photo gallery for pictures.
We just got the call from Harry’s soccer coach! Practice starts on Monday, March 6 at 5:00. He is SO excited!! Zoe’s soccer team will presumably resume on March 16. The first games of the season are on March 18.
And oh yes, there WILL be pictures. 
Today, Harry and I went to the park and played a little soccer. You see, in three weeks, he is going to start playing in a league, and he felt that some practice would be a good idea.
Next came the running. I was lucky enough to get a few photos of our time together before Harry informed me that I needed to put the camera away and run around with him. After all, that’s how you play soccer. We ran like madmen, with Harry taking the ball from me and then me taking it from him before starting the whole cycle all over again.
Next stop, team sports!
