With Cade and Aiden both playing soccer it seems as if I spend all my time sitting at practice. Tom was gone for a few weeks in late April taking care of his mom and dad. I was definitely feeling the burn of the single parent life since I had to drive the kids to every practice and then sit there for hours. Aiden's team has been practicing for months and this past weekend they had their first tournament. We hadn't seen them compete much with covid restrictions and the team is still in the building phase of getting to know each other, but after watching them play all the hours I sat at soccer seemed worth it. They have improved and become really fabulous. Aiden's foot work continues to look great and his passing has become so accurate. The team won their first 2 games and tied the last game. Because the team they played last had a shut-out (they didn't let the a previous team score) they were awarded a bonus point so they beat Aiden's team by one and went on to the championship game. But, we're still so proud of their performance. Each player has their strengths and they are working together so well. Aiden had an assist for a goal and overall it was really fun to watch. We've got games every week and more tournaments to come.
Cade continues to love going to soccer and thinks it's a really grown-up thing to do. I have a bunch of pictures with his tongue hanging out, so he must be concentrating really hard. Pappy and Marme went to Cade's game last week and Cade scored! He was so proud of himself and it was so fun for him to score with Pappy and Marme watching.
