soccer!

ava had her very first soccer practice sunday. she loved it! i ended up having to stay by her side for most of the hour session, but by the end she was gaining courage and i think in another week or two she will be asking me to stay on the sidelines.  it was quite interesting, since i was carrying nathan the entire time but we managed. they don't really play soccer at this age, but they start with the fundamentals- so they practice hitting the ball with their knees, heads, and feet. they run around and do silly things! i have really been looking forward to these times with ava, so i am excited to see how she progresses and if she ends up really enjoying this or not.

i didnt get to take very good photos because i had nathan in one arm and avas hand in the other a lot of the time, but i did manage some.
