First Game of the Season

D had his first soccer game of the season. It's so fun to see him playing again the sport he loves more than anything! He has the same coach as last season and a few of the same players.
D started on offense and is just waiting here for the game to start!
D was in the action from the beginning, keeping the ball on the opponents side the whole time. They are lining up for a goal kick.
D's team actually won the game 5-0 so I'm not sure if this was one of those goals or not!
Goalie...nothing makes me more nervious than D playing goalie!! Here Papi is getting him ready...
and he's off! D loves to be goalie!!
Papi gives a few last minute instructions.
D didn't have much to do as goalie, but a couple times he saw some action and he jumped right in and saved the ball! It's such a joy watching him play.
We had a special treat for D's first game...grandma and grandpa were in town and able to attend. Grandpa kept tabs on the game while Grandma kept up with the girls (allowing me to watch the game). Here the girls are with grandma and one of their friends whose brother plays with D.
The girls had so much more freedom than normal becuase I usually want to see the game so they have to stay right on the sidelines with me. However, with grandma in attendance, they could run wild.
I love this picture!! All three girls are headed in different directions! So funny!

Jerry and I were just saying that we need to get Aaron involved in a sport. It looks like Derek is having a great time!
