Soccer is over, for now...



Matayia has been playing soccer again this spring. It has been a cold spring and the weather hasn't always been that great. We have played in rain, hail and not much sun but I have enjoyed this season the most so far. Though I think we only won 1 game (and tied a few) Matayia has really improved this season. She decided that she is a great defender. Though I often say Matayia has no competitive bone in her body. She has found her own competitive spot on the field. I think as a parent when I went to the game I found myself saying... "score a goal" and I taught Matayia that her success in soccer was measured by the # of goals she scored. Which is not the case. My perspective has changed as I have seen her excell in defense. I have learned success can be measured in many different ways. I am proud of the growth and confidence Matayia has shown on the soccer field that helped me learn this valuable lesson. I can't wait for the fall soccer season to start. Good season Matayia I am proud of you!!

Hey! I haven't checked blogs FOREVER and I found myself at yours today. Congratulations on the girl! When are you due? We found out we were expecting again (Nov 10) and its a boy, still a little in denial about it. I go to the store swearing I will not buy one thing for McKailey and only the baby but sure enough I walk out of there with outfits for her and not him, its sad really.
Anyway, glad things are going well and I can't believe how big matayia is, it is crazy!!! We really should hang out, I know it never happens but we should! Maybe lunch at the mall???
