Sporting

Soccer season has officially begun! Owen's travel team had their first game last Sunday afternoon and Pat played later that night. Owen's team did what they could but weren't quite a match for the other team. Maybe because they've had zero practices so far? It was fun to watch Owen play again though, and I'm excited to see how they improve. 

Pat's game was fun to watch too, I tried to keep the kids home because Owen was still feeling iffy but they got pretty bent out of shape when I suggested it. They wanted to see their friends and their dad play and I couldn't really argue against it.

Team meeting after the game!

Watching Pat play (well, one of them was...for a minute or two.)

Action shot! 

Earlier in the weekend I was getting ready to go out for a run and came upon the kids having races! Even better, they were timing themselves individually which meant no one was getting discouraged or being beaten by people who were older and faster. They were just trying to improve on their own times.

Look at that determination!
