another first...soccer!

olivia decided trade in her ballet and tap shoes for soccer cleats this semester.  her big cousin abby plays soccer, kk was going to play, so it is only natural that olivia wanted to give it a try too!  we had our first soccer practice and she LOVED it!!

there is a super talented and sweet mom i am naming our official "team photographer."  she has an amazing camera and loves taking pics of the girls.  here are a few of the pics she took from our first practice...
 listening to uncle, i mean, coach christman! :)


most of her team, team LYON!! ava left before the picture was taken. :(  
there is a perfect mix of new and old friends!!

see she loves it!! she needs some practice, but we were so proud of her for listening to her coaches and trying very hard through the whole practice.  o is my child who doesn't love to sweat, be hot, or run too much- all things required for soccer, so i could not be more shocked by her enthusiasm and smiles in these pictures.  i am so thrilled that she is loving it.  there are so many benefits to soccer- learning to play on a team, new friendships, a fun way to get some exercise, and spending time with kk, just to name a few!!

here's hoping that the rest of the season goes as great as the first practice.  go team LYON!!
