Well that was fun!

The above picture was taken during Christian's last soccer game. This is how he looked all the time. Christian LOVED!!!!! soccer this season!! I mean seriously LOVED IT!! It made it so fun for all of us. He was intense but he could also be heard giggling as he ran down the field. He was also the only kid who was yelling at the other kids during the game. He would say stuff like "Come on guys. Get the ball." Or "Oh no, oh no, run faster" etc. You get the picture! It was pretty hilarious.
And what was even more surprising than how awesome Christian was, was the fact that I actually loved it! I'm sad that tomorrow will be our first Wednesday evening with no soccer practice. I'm even tempted to sign him up for soccer and t-ball in the spring, but then there's this little thing called "a new baby" that I also have to consider.
Christian learned so much and for that we are very thankful.

What a blessing to have awesome coaches who made it so much fun!
Coach Craig, Coach Mike
Brooke, Caden and Christian
(Please take special note of Christian's tough guy pose. This is his new thing. I have a feeling it's going to be appearing in many pictures over the next couple months. I'm hoping it will be short lived).

Awesome!!! So glad he loved it and I would go with your gut on the not doing two sports at once for the spring...speaking from having multiple kids in only one sport that is really hard I can't imagine two sports and a baby!!! Your gut is right:)

sounds like he totally loved it! soccer in the spring may be a good diversion for him when the new baby comes...and a good way for him to run off some energy...

The soccer games were a highlight of my week. Coach Mike did an outstanding job of training his players. The improvement in skill level from the first game to the last was very impressive. The best part was observing the sheer joy that Christian displayed on and off the field. He had a wonderful experience.

It was such a fun season. Christian did a great job! It was fun to see how excited he was on the soccer field (especially when he scored) We miss seeing you every week :(
