Soccer!

Well, by random chance, Sofia has joined a soccer team.  I say random chance because this was a decision made over beers with Mike's soccer team late after a game.  Someone asked if anyone had a three year old girl b/c their team needed her.  So, we decided that it was fate :)  We had been wavering about adding another activity but now we're so glad we did.  Her first game got rained out but this Sunday was her first game after all.  And what a PERFECT day for a first soccer game!  It was our first beautiful day since Spring - sunny and 70 - amazing.  We had a crew out there to watch Sofia!  Mike's sister Erin was in town for the weekend and my parents came as well.  Of course Aunt Erin had to teach Sofia her celebration dance.  HA.  Pretty dang funny.

Here is the video of the goal dance.

 Distraction with a lollipop. I had to pull out all the stops.  He was so mad he wasn't on the field!

 Following directions.  So proud!

On another note, we did have such a blast with Aunt Erin this weekend.  I think it's the longest span we've just had one on one time with her and us. . . at least in a long while!  We loved having her here and all miss her a lot!  The kids got to bond with her which was great and it was tough to see her go.  So much fun having family visitors!
