Soccer has begun!

This fall, Ellie has started her athletic journey and she has started with soccer. She was super excited about signing up and even more excited when she found out she knew 4 out of the other 5 kids on her team. In fact, the coach of the team are some of our good friends, Aaron and Becky Travis. She has been doing so great and it's been fun helping her understand that though we've ingrained in her to always share, when she's on the soccer field, that ball is hers and she is to do what she can to take the ball away from the other team and kick it in the goal! :) It's been a big laugh watching these little 4/5 year olds learn the game. Here are some of our pics from the season:





And here are 2 videos of Ellie's 2 goals in the last game... pretty awesome!!

My favorite is the end of goal one when Kevin's voice cracks.

or that would be my favorite, if the man couldn't fire me. ;)
