Fall Sports

I swore that I would not get behind again, but that just seems to be the norm for me here lately. Most of the last 8 weeks have been spent on the ball fields-soccer and baseball. If we were not at practice, we were at a game.

Carson played rec baseball and soccer. The baseball season was not great and we limped through with a team of very young players. Although it was a 7-8 year old league, we actually ended up with some 6 year olds and Carson and one other boy were the only 8 year olds.

It.was.a.long.road.to.the.last.game... Carson played really well, though. Playing primarily shortstop, he made lots of outs and really has a knowledge of the game that allows him to see the big picture. It must be all of those hours of ESPN paying off. He does LOVE the sports.

Unlike the baseball season, his soccer season was great! His team got second place in their division. They learned to run different plays and realized the importance of passing the ball up the field. Carson is so excited about continuing with this team next season.

Laiken started playing academy soccer with FC Dallas this fall. I don't love the drive to Pizza Hut Park for the practices, but Laiken loves the team and is really challenged by the workout. We have had a great time watching her skills continue to increase. Her team won and tied about as many as they lost, so all in all, it was a good first season. We start indoor this weekend, so I am looking forward to the climate controlled comfort as we watch the upcoming games.

Here is Nolan spending his time getting ready for when he can be on the field, too.
