Soccer and a Violin!!

Well, despite the pouring rain we had two soccer games today! Taylor played in North Olmstead. After realizing our directions took us to Olmstead Falls instead of North Olmstead, we quickly stopped at a gas station and got on the right track. We got to the fields just in time to sit and wait, as several others were lost as well. While the girls lost again, they continue to improve and fight until the end. I just know we are going to win one soon!
Drew had his first soccer game today. His first "actual" game, on a team, not just a little scrimmage. He was so excited. All week he wanted it to be Saturday. He is playing for Smithville, so he can play on his best bud Braden's team. Also, Uncle Michael is coaching. We were late to the game coming from Taylors game, but we got there before halftime and got some great photos. Thankfully, Drew went to Braden's and they took him to the game to make sure he was there on time. Looking back at the photos, I notice that my son sticks his tongue out when he plays. Mouthgards may be in his future.

Funny, though... his cousin Braden also plays with his tongue out, too! They played amazing!! They won 4-2 and our "family" scored 75% of the goals!! Braden scored 2 and Drew scored the final goal!! How exciting!!

And of course, we owe it all to the coaching of the one and only Uncle Coach Michael!!
Then, after the games, Taylor and I had to head to the library. While we were in town, I thought it would be a good time to stop at the music store and check out Violins. Taylor starts band/orchestra next week, so we have to get the instrument this week. She was debating between the flute (which we have already) and the violin (which we would need to rent/buy). Well of course she picks the violin. I am actually very excited. I think she is going to love it. So far, she does. Just look at this photo of her as we left the music store!!

God is Good!
