Soccer Season

Fall is here in TN and Katie is loving soccer season! We are SO PROUD of her and her improvements and hard work. As parents.......competitive parents that is.....Chris and I find ourselves having all these expectations for her. Then we remember that she is 4! :) She has always tried hard and followed the ball and "crowd" of girls after the ball, but until this last game she hasn't been very aggressive.

Then Aunt Kara came to town and has been working with her in the yard and really explaining things to her. With a little practice, she has figured out that she loves to kick the ball and score goals!

This past week we played a team that was pretty good. There are always a few girls that are way ahead of the group and those are usually the kids that have older siblings and have been around lots of soccer fields.

We are so happy with our coach this year, Coach Tim. He has a daughter on the team, Lindy (Lou they call her) who is very good. Her mom video taped parts of the game and made this YouTube video below. Lou and Katie played together this past week so there is a lot of Katie in the video too.

The last few seconds shows Katie's goal!
