Soccer Shots

These pictures are not particularly great but I thought those family members who are far away might appreciate them. Matt took them at Sophie's game this past Saturday. This is Sophie's first time to play soccer and she seems to be enjoying it! Her soccer team is made up of some really sweet girls, some of whom she goes to school with. Sophie's not usually the first one down the field but she works hard and is learning the sport. The girls call themselves the Blue Rhinestones which is very intimidating (NOT-J/K!). One of the dads calls the girls the Rhinestone Cowgirls. It sounds a little tougher so I kind of like that nickname.

Here's Sophie all suited up for her 1st soccer game!

Here's Abbie a few days ago. Matt took her for a drive to see if he could get her to take a nap. He didn't realize why it took a while for her to go to sleep. She had found one of his pens in the cars and she was drawing all over her legs!!

Sophie is playing soccer for the first time this fall. One of her best buddies who is a neighbor of ours was also playing so we were hoping that they would be on the same team but they are not. Sophie's team had only had a couple of practices before their first game. She's having fun learning to play soccer and some of the girls on her team go to school with her. They do not keep score at this age. All of the girls got a chance to play but they also got a couple of breaks. I don't think Sophie minded because by the end of the game, I think she was tired of doing so much running. Mama, Abbie, Nana, Paw-paw and Uncle Phil were all able to come and watch Sophie's first game. Her daddy had to miss it because he's teaching a class on Tuesday nights. Hopefully, if Sophie keeps practicing, she can score a goal or two!
