Soccer practice

Tonight was the opening night of practice for Emma's soccer team. Will and Noah are on the team as well. Paige is a little sad that she was too young for this league, but she gets to help her mom coach, so that's keeping her happy. Luckily for all of you, I had my fancy camera there so you get these totally awesome pictures.

Paige never misses a chance for a dramatic pose.


Coach Puppetmaster. A little hands-on coaching of a new goalie recruit.


Noah taking his shot. Em is excellent about not being afraid of the ball when she is in goal.
