Fall and spring Soccer AND summer baseball

I don't know if you remember Jacks soccer season last year? He wouldn't play. This year he was a champ. He's one of those happy go lucky type players. One game Mike was sitting next to a parent from the other team and said, under his breath, that Jack needed to pick a different gear and the guy kinda laughed and said, "yeah, he's not quite as fast as the others is he?" At least he wears a smile and sometimes does summersaults in the middle of the field. 

Ivan eats, sleeps and plays sports. There's no time for smiles. Strictly buisness.

 I don't know what I'm going to do when all our teammates and coaches aren't our neighbors. It sure is convenient. Maybe I won't love sports as much when I have to run in 3 different places for practice ~ rather than out the front door, to the field across the street.

 Ivan's coach sat them down and went through each kid and told them something specific about the way they played this year. What an awesome thing to do.

Until next fall boys


Then they played baseball

 
I'm not sure what the tiger scratches were all about, but he wanted them for his game
