Upon arriving home, we stumbled back into a life fully underway – soccer season was no exception. Having already missed a handful of practices and the 1st game, we showed up at practice not exactly sure what to expect. This season, as it turns out, the coach is an old college-mate of Steve’s and he and the rest of the girls were welcoming and ready to bring Stella into the fold.
This year, she was finally able to move up to the next age bracket, and the girls (no more co-ed) are bigger and seem more ready to get to business playing some soccer. It’s still swarm-ball type soccer, but there is certainly some actual ability beginning to peek through. Some of these girls are showing serious promise.
I have been unable to figure out, however, why they all run with their tongue out?

So funny that I really didn’t notice all those tongues while at the game…….perhaps someone needs to write a paper on this phenomenon. Stella had a great game!
There is genuine fear on Jane’s face as Stella approaches the goal!
