Fall Soccer '15

Somehow we managed to pull off another soccer season this fall.  Isaac, Delia, and Miles all played again and Matt coached all their teams.  When he's feeling full of energy Miles is a great player and can really attack the ball.
 
Celebrating right after scoring a goal!



Delia really is become a soccer star.  She's aggressive and works hard, she loves to score but doesn't mind defending either.  She's pretty competitive, but a good team player, too.  She likes to encourage her teammates and had some great assists this season.  I love watching her team play!


Unfortunately this is my only picture of Isaac from the season! :(  This was at his last game and he was recovering from the flu that wiped out a bunch of kids and staff from their school that week.  To be honest there wasn't much to photograph this season for Isaac.  Although he's a pretty skilled player he doesn't have much passion for soccer, I think we'll be looking for other activities for him to try out next year.

At eight years old Delia is incredibly kind, thoughtful, sensitive and generous, always thinking of others and wanting to make sure her siblings are doing okay.  She is so unique and creative and surprises me everyday with the art she creates and the stories she writes.  Someone told me recently that she seems very comfortable in her skin- that describes her so well!  She is very bright and a great student, she's excelling at everything in 2nd grade.  I don't know how we ended up with such a beautiful and gifted young woman!  She is amazing and we thank God for her everyday!

 

Happy Birthday Delia Jane!  We love you so much!
