Soccer begins...

Nathaniel is playing soccer for the first time this year.  He is one of two boys on his team (there are three girls on his team as well).  They're team name is BLUE JETS.  He's had two games so far - both in Fort Jones.  Yesterday's game here in Etna was cancelled due to rain (but he'd have missed it anyway since he has a cold).  He seems to like it, but doesn't always pay attention to where the ball is going. 

This is Joshua's third year playing soccer - his team is the Lions. He is playing really well this year - a huge improvement over last year (he's finally paying attention to where the ball is!)
He's not the smallest on the team for once!
He likes to play goalie.
He's had three games so far...and his is in Etna tomorrow night as well!  The one and only time all season (ie the month of October) that both boys have games in the same place.  Luckily their schedules only overlap on Thursdays so we can divide and conquer and have a parent at each game.  Tuesdays Brian is on afternoon/evening rotation for class but only Nathaniel has games on Tuesdays.  Joshua's other games are on Friday.

No, she's not playing soccer.  But had to include a picture of Grace as well.  She is two now...hopefully in the next few days I'll get some birthday pictures up.  This was taken a couple of weeks ago at Great Grandma Darlene's wearing what they call "The Turkey Hat". Grace insists on wearing this hat of Grandma's when they go throw out corn for the turkeys on the hillside.  She looks so cute in it :)
