Soccer

Francis has been playing soccer again this fall. The last few games she has been playing really well. She runs all over the place and has had several drives with the ball. I've been so proud.

Finally, this week Francis scored a goal after being so close several times. She has had instances where a teammate has kicked the ball in after she dribbled it all the way to the goal and then last week she drove it down and then a girl from the other team kicked it in.

But this week she stole an inbound kick and took it right to the goal. She hesitated a bit in front of the goal but there was no one near by so she kicked it in.

During this whole thing, Johann plays on the sidelines. Either Arial or I will kick a ball around with him for some of time but he usually watches some of the game. He is very good about the whole thing (until the team gets snacks and he doesn't but Francis usually shares something with him).

All in all, soccer has been fun. The next thing she is signed up for is tennis. :)
