Little Miss Fireball

Fall Soccer has arrived. The twins had thier first games today. She plays on U13 girls, and he on U13 boys. When the girl twin first approached us several years ago about playing soccer, we tried to talk her out of it. You see, she is the one (out of our 3 children) who doesn't really like sports of any kind. After explaining to her that she would have to run up and down the field, she still begged to play. "Ok" I said, "but you know the family rule...once you start something, you finish it." We had sat through hours of begging to get out of dance (after we purchased the $100 recital costumes) and hours of begging to get out of gymnastics (before the end of the year show) and I was not about to let her quit soccer should she decide that this too, was not for her. Well as you know, the Lord tends to catch us off guard at times! Not only did she finish the season and go on to continue to play every season, she is one heck of a player! Aggressive and smart at reading plays. So, it's been a joy watching her attack the soccer ball. Watch out .... we might have another World cup player on our hands!!!!
