Looking back to Fall

This post is out of order...but I never got around to posting them until now. Sigh....Is there any thing better than the fall? Perfect cool weather, leaves, sun....sounds years away.....

Soccer

 This fall we decided to enroll Thomas in his first soccer team.  The results were.....Interesting.....
He was super excited when we told him about it, but once it started he simply would not participate. AT. ALL. In fact Caroline was more of a participant at the beginning with practices and drills. Finally, for the last 2 games, he made an effort and played!

 Here is a cutie little spectator

 Thomas may not have taken to the game of soccer, but he sure can run fast!

 He gets that from his dad

 Most of the games, Thomas just hovered around the goal post. Regardless of where the other team was and how many other people were already tending the goal.

In the end, I was proud of this shaggy haired boy. Even though it started out patchy, he tried something new that was a bit intimidating to him. So cheers for that. And he was pretty happy to get a trophy out of it. His dad on the other hand has less than positive feelings about every kids getting a trophy no matter what! Regardless, the trophy was promptly destroyed by sister the next day. So theres that. :)

First Snow

There is nothing like seeing the world through the eyes of a small child. And one of the purest and most magical things is the first snow fall of the season. Now, I'm not a fan of snow typically, but its hard not to enjoy the first snow of the year. This one was really beautiful too.
