Eliana's soccer team

This spring Eliana has been playing soccer with our parish's school league. Soccer is one of David's great loves, which seems to be rubbing off on the kids.  Will was disappointed that he was too young to play on a team.  Eliana was on the kindergarten team which was not very competitive but focused on building skills like passing the ball.  It was great fun to watch Eliana progress week to week, and make new friends with the other girls on the team.  The last game was especially exciting because I could see how much all of the girls had grown.  Eliana looked especially good as the goalie (her favorite position) for one of the quarters.  She made several great saves and looked so proud of herself!  After the last game, the coaches took the girls out for ice cream and gave out medals.  It was a great season.
