The last couple of weeks, our schedule has quieted down a bit, due to Fall sports wrapping up at the end of October. This was the first season that Emma was able to participate in the FVAA (Fuquay Varina Athletic Association) soccer league. And, Micah's first season of machine-pitch baseball. Although our evenings and weekends were busy, shuttling the kids between practice and games, but we sure enjoyed cheering our kids from the sidelines!
Here's a picture of Micah playing catcher. Although he didn't appreciate the dust in his face, he really learned to play this position well. Prior to playing machine-pitch, he had played a couple of seasons of t-ball, but really enjoyed the competitiveness of "real" baseball much better. He's already said he wants to play again in the Spring. By next Fall, he'll move up to "player-pitch" ball.
Emma played to the beat of her own little drum (or make that danced) when it came to soccer! Sometimes she would tear out on the field and get right into the game, but other times (most other times -- hee hee), she would flit and flutter around the field (usually humming), not paying a bit of attention to where the ball was or where she should be kicking it! But, her coach was great (and very patient with a bunch of 4-year olds), understanding that at this age, it's all about having fun!
