6th and FINAL soccer--May 17, 2009

The sixth and final day of soccer actually was bittersweet. Abbie loved to play soccer and we were enjoying seeing her progress. We were freezing most days though...who would have thought that soccer in May would have been so chilly!

This is Abbie's U4 team with Bill Clark as coach. All of the girls lived up in our neighborhood. Starting in back left: Emily, Ruby, Norah, Abbie and Jordan and Melanie in front.

Waiting in the wings to assist Norah if she needs it

Um, looks like Abbie and Norah were doing some mental preparation becoming "one with the ball"

Alright, Abbie still did some hair twisting at the end of the season but nothing like she did at the beginning where she would stand and watch the others kick the ball all around her while she stood and twisted her hair.

Woo Hoo! Gave us the "way to go sign" after scoring her SECOND goal of the game! And that was two goals in the CORRECT goal! I told you she really improved during the season. Her skills and her understanding of the game really progressed. That doesn't mean I am ready to be a soccer family though!
