Lauren and Soccer

Lauren has been so excited to start soccer.  This is her first time playing on any kind of a team.  She has watched Tyler and her cousins play in countless soccer games. 

I remember the trip to the sporting goods store.  She was so excited to put those cleats on.  At the store they have a place that looks like a track and she and Tyler would run up and down that area like they were the fastest people on earth.

Yesterday I had the chance to go and watch her at practice.  It was so fun to watch these cute little girls try to figure out this sport.  The coach does a great job. 

Towards the end of practice they played a little scrimmage and it was fun to see Lauren play.  She was way more aggressive than I thought she would be.  She must have learned something while watching her cousin Alice play soccer.  I tried to video tape a little bit of the action with my phone.  That is posted below.  Can I just say that I love being a Dad!
