soccer season comes to a close

 We had a terrific soccer season and we are so glad we signed both Heidi and Savanna to play!  Jeff likes to coach and the girls love to have dad coaching so it's perfect!  This year we also had friends on each of the girls teams so it made it really fun for both of them. 

We spent the fall doing practices and games and enjoying the weather most of the time!  We did have a few rained out practices and make up games due to practices.  Heidi also
 had a double header on the hottest day of the season and it was pretty miserable!  But other than that, man alive did that girl do awesome!  She really got into the game this season.  She is such a fast runner and she was awesome at getting the ball down the field.  She was so much fun to watch and we are so proud of her for giving it her all!  She was sad when it was her last game and said she wants to play in the spring.  We didn't do spring season last year, and I am not sure we will do it this year either, but I am so glad she had a great season.

Savanna is a natural athlete.  She has endless energy and she picks up on
 athletics pretty easily.  She did awesome her first games and had a little bump in the middle of the season where she acted like she didn't really want to play, but at the last game she got back into her groove.  Sometimes she has to do things a few times before she really participates and decides if she likes it, so we will see what she thinks next season!  But she loved having time with daddy and she loved having one of best friends, Cooper on her team!

 I am so grateful Jeff is willing to coach and share this experience with the girls.  I cannot imagine a better father.  He loves his girls so much and is involved in every aspect of their lives.  They are so, so lucky.

I am also grateful for all of the wonderful friends our kids have and all of the wonderful friends we have made here.  We are so happy to be in such a phenomenal community and the gorgeous scenery, especially this time of year, makes us even more grateful to be here!
