Soccer, jumping, and a random birthday…

"Amongst all unimportant subjects, football is by far the most important.
-Pope John Paul II

James started soccer again, and this time James is on a team more his level.  He’s one of the faster kids in the group and has found that he enjoys playing defense more than any other position.  He didn’t score his first game, but he prevented a few scores for the other team and helped get the win.



Ashlyn’s gymnastics continues to improve.  She’s  flipping like crazy on the trampoline, so far her record is nine backflips in a row.  Isla is eager to keep up with her big sister but it’s going to take some time.  While Ashlyn is doing flips Isla is doing jumping leg splits and cartwheels.  She’ll get there.

When we explained that dogs grow fast as puppies compared to humans the kids decided to throw a birthday party for Sadie.  They did some math and figured out that Sadie had turned 14 in human years, so they held a celebration and made treats for her.  Sadie had no idea what was happening, but it was a nice gesture from the kids.
