Soccer so far this year

Soccer this fall time has been so so fun, for us and for Cami. Last year Cami was a little hesitant and didn't want to get nailed or nail anyone. She was just a little sensitive when it came to taking the ball away from other people too. It is amazing what a difference a year has made. She is a serious go getter.
In the first game she scored twice and jumped up and down cheering for herself. It was so fun to watch her find her confidence and aggression. I truly feel like she is my daughter now. Every game she tells us how she is going to score and how she'll stop them from scoring and how she's going to win. I love it! She has a great team-everyone seems to have about the same level of skill so everyone gets equal opportunity. They have only lost one game so far but only because they scored two goals for the other team right after half time when they hadn't quite figured out which goal they should be shooting in. This year with the baby due in the middle of soccer season I decided not to coach but to offer to help whenever the coach needed it. I have run a couple practices and one game and I still love it. Next year I am so in again.

Taryn really wishes she was playing...She occasionally rushes onto the field during the exciting parts and wants to help out...next year baby, next year. :)
