let the soccer season begin!

So, the new year has begun and we are in full swing.  

And by "full swing" I am talking about school, homework, and soccer.

The new soccer season has started and with it, a new team for Anna.

We were a bit nervous (since her last team was kind of a disaster!) but this year seems to be off to a most excellent start.  For starters, her team is actually pretty good!

Of course, winning isn't everything...but it does help the girls (not to mention us parents) enjoy the games.  

So, Anna has a new team and she is thrilled...because though we have a new coach, we also have 4 of the same team member as last season!! 

 Spring season for soccer is always nice because the weather tends to be a bit cooler than the Fall season...but the downside is that it also means more rain. 

This day proved no exception.

It started out beautiful and sunny...with a double rainbow to sweeten the view!

 And then half way through practice, it proceeded to DOWN POUR!

Thank goodness I brought my umbrella!

Thankfully, the kids didn't seem to mind all that much.

Rain or shine...GO ANNA!
