soccer madness

after a three week break for christmas ...

soccer season opened once again.

there is a pile of soccer cleats blocking up our entrance way, 

(this house doesn't have proper closets)

and mounds of stinky soccer uniforms in the laundry room.

with two practises a week, games on the weekend, 

and a three player household,

 busy becomes an understatement.

but... talk about community !!!

for our family, soccer has become a true gateway to building one.

each weekend

rain or shine, families cheer for

not just their child but every child on the team.

with each cheer, not just individual strengths are applauded 

but skills that need developing find encouragement.

soccer...soccer...soccer

it's a very long season... especially in a city 

with as many turf fields as it does public gardens.

(well... maybe not as many)

go BAYS go !!!
