Hey Coach!

A new soccer season has begun!  Maddie is once again playing and loving it.  This year is just a little different, and just a little more special.  Josh has put on a jersey himself and become the coach of her team.  Although he is a devoted soccer fan, coaching is new to him.  However, he has the patience, temperament, and knowledge of the game to make him the perfect person for the job! I can't help but smile when I think of all the hours Reed spent coaching both Lindsey and Caleb.  We made lots and lots of memories, and I know these two will also! He is leaving an imprint on Maddie that will last a lifetime!

Suited up and ready for the first game!  (Even Daisy was excited!)

A little pregame fun!

And no need to worry-the super heroes on the sidelines are busy keeping the field safe for all!

And she's off!  Run! Run! Run!

I am slowly (very, very slowly) sorta, kinda beginning to understand this game! Offense, defense, corner kicks, penalty kicks, and lots of fancy footwork make this fast paced game fun to watch!

I love her determination!

And I love that he's there experiencing it all with her and her teammates!

Reed and Lillian are also big supporters of their sister! Or maybe they just enjoy the uninterrupted playtime? Either way, they are quite the troopers!

Love this sweet girl!

Sadly, this game did not end in a victory.  But it was the beginning of a new journey, and I am so glad to be along for the ride!  I predict lots and lots of exciting times ahead!  Lillian also has her first softball game next week.  How awesome is that?!

And in case you were wondering, this little nugget is simply awesome!!
