soccer season

Yup, already. Yesterday was their first practice after school and today was the first game. Maybe having Graeme around this summer rubbed off on them or something, but my boys played HARD today. Especially Patrick. He ran his little tush off and even had two shots on goal while playing center offense. The goalie for the other team (Chris) is a very good player so both his shots were blocked, but he hustled like crazy. Impressive stuff. Jack would still rather not run so much, and is more interested in playing defense or goalie.

Their team won 4-3 which was nice for them. Both teams played super hard and it was hot out there today. They are really looking forward to playing again next week. Oh, and everyone got new cleats and size 4 soccer balls for this year (jack in red cleats, patrick in black). You know how they love new equipment! And Graeme, they used the bags you and your mum got them so thank you again!

And Timmy was a great supporter of his brothers, watching at least a minute or two of the game before losing interest. But he would periodically yell "go jack" or "go patrick"! It was apparently either too sunny out or he was concerned people would recognize him and interrupt his game watching, so Mommy’s sunglasses were requested.
