Soccer Season

It's that time of year again. Hannah just started her first U10 (10 and under) season. The field is bigger, the goals are bigger, and the kids are bigger. Being nailed in the chin by a 90-lb, ten-year-old boy or finding yourself buried under 3 kids weighing a combined 200 lbs is just part of the fun now. Hannah, still at just 60 pounds, is thankfully so fast and aggressive that she generally comes out of it unscathed.

John missed the 6 and under cut-off by about 5 days. So Dad plays with him on an unused field while I root for Hannah and her team from the sidelines.

When you look at the photos you'll get a sense of how hard-working and competitive Hannah is. And this was on a morning after dealing with a stomach flu during the night!
