F I N A L L Y!!

Peanut got her FIRST goal of the season this weekend! She has been working soooo hard for it, with so many shots on goal. We knew it was just a matter of time. She scored to tie the game in what ended up being our first-ever double OT game.
We lost in the 70th minute.
Heart breaking, but it was one of the best games the girls have ever played.
SO proud of Haley!

Three out of four gets you.......nothing

Haley played in the CalCup Jr this weekend at Cherry Island.  Thankfully, it was only about 100 degrees, rather than the 113 at this tournament last year.  Despite winning three of four games, the sweaty little U10 girls got NOTHING.  Well, pride in playing their you-know-whats-off, but really, does that matter to a nine year old?  Not like a medal or Tshirt would.  (They are easily amused, mostly.)  Oh well - Haley played awesome - had 3 shots on goal, and slammed a left-footer into the goal posts - it should have made it.  Oh well.  We DID play 1000 times better than last year, and that says so much.  In points, we ended up third of 10 teams.  I'll take it.

Rockstar Baseball Player
Jace started Single A this year, and was lucky enough to be on the Giants.  His Coach said that "no one hit the ball (or swung, anyway!) harder than Jace.  And (that) he has a future in baseball.  And as an artist".  Jace took great care coloring a special picture for Coach Ryan; when presented with it, Ryan was so sweet and told Jace it was going up in his office at school.
