Soccer Season Starts

Tonight was S's first soccer practice of the season. He is playing on a team coached by our neighbor so at least practice is nice and close, like 50 feet from our back door. He was disappointed to learn his Daddy wouldn't be coaching this time. Turns out Daddy will be assisting coaching due to S's major disappointment. Practice went well. S is playing up a level this time. He is so good at anything athletic. It is such fun to watch him out there trying his best and achieving little successes here and there. It is very heartwarming to watch father and son out there too - I fall a bit more in love with Daddy Piper each time I watch him interact with our babies.

L enjoyed the practice because she got to play with their other daughter. Her time with other little girls is so limited. Most of the kids we know are boys. So she had tons of fun. J and I hung out and tried not to melt in the heat.
