Soccer Season Ends

Jordi's last game of her first soccer season was this past Saturday. Although there were a couple times over the course of the six week period that she wasn't interested in going, I think it was a good experience for her overall. Her coach was unfailingly enthusiastic and did an excellent job of including all the kids (whether they wanted to or not!) during the practices & games. He and his wife were very friendly, even bringing snacks & juice for the kids to every game, and we're glad Jordi was assigned to his team!

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you - that's Caroline out there playing on the Orange team! They were down one at the start the game, so we offered her services if they had an extra t-shirt she could wear. Luckily for Caroline - they did!

She had a lot of fun in her first game. She didn't get to the ball, but she did run hard, grinning all the while, I might add! (Unfortunately, the ref noticed her lack of shin guards during the second quarter, so she had to sit out the rest of the game. But Coach let her keep the t-shirt anyway!)

After the game ended, Coach Joe made a special presentation of an engraved gold medal to each of his players. As Jordi has a well-known affinity for "golden" medals (as she calls them), this was a big deal to her!

Here's Jordi & Coach Joe - Thanks again for a great season!
