Soccer Team

Go blue! Lucy's playing 1/2 soccer this year. The season is about 8 weeks and does include games, though no official score is kept. The coach told the kids it wasn't important about 10 times during the game. Roughly half the number of times he had to tell Lucy to stand up.

She's blue team in the center, teal shorts and white socks.
 Run!
 Run more! (Unfortunately at this time she's on defense, so her coach is calling to get back to the box or wherever she's supposed to be standing.)
 Ready to defend in the stance.
Overall it went well! She's been super excited to start playing soccer but I think soccer in theory was better than soccer in practice. She's not thrilled with the standing, the running, or the kicking really. She even subbed herself out at one point because she needed a break. Game one success!

And Jamie spent most of his time being tickled.

School!

Lucy started her first of the number grades ... and it has come with a huge set of expectations for quiet, individual work time. She's not sobbing every night any more, which is great.

Big girl! She drew the medal on her page because (obviously) she would be so great at 1st grade someone will award her a medal.
At school with Mrs. O'Reilly and entering with her class. I didn't even get a wave this year!

But that's not all our news - Jamie started school this year too. Hooray for preschool! He's at Small Wonders with Miss Karla just like Lucy was for two years and are we happy to be back!
 This is love. Or something.
 Hello again Miss Karla!
 Jamie's backpack hook and monkey backpack.
 And another child who didn't even look up when I said goodbye.

And did you want a picture of me walking in on my first day too? Sorry, but this is my board!
