Cara and I also had a slight disagreement about soccer, but both the girls asked to be in it so we put them in soccer, which once again was conveniently scheduled at the same time for both of them. It is also quite nice that Teresa gets to see a bunch of her pre-school friends, as Teresa broke Cara's heart earlier this year when she told Frances that she would make lots of friends at pre-school and lose them all when she went to Browning... Also the two girls are on the same teams as another pair of sisters that Teresa made fast friends with this year in kindergarten. The girls though are not the best athletes (I know you are stunned, how could they not with such a lineage that they are bred from?) and as such are generally more interested in the social aspects of the game, like dandelion picking, snack time and breaks.

The girls normally ride to & from soccer. Teresa may be able to graduate to no training wheels this summer, and Frances to Teresa's old bike. That bike was Teresa's 5th birthday present.

Teresa's soccer team having a tête à tête. I am pretty sure the discussion went something like this: "OK, so we will all chase the ball in a pack. Oh, Grace, you want to pick dandelions? That's fine. Also, remember never to anticipate where the ball will end up, just run to where it is. Dylan, when you get the ball make sure you kick it towards our net."

Hey look, Teresa's working at getting to the ball!
Magaret & Rowdy regularly come to the games.
Rowdy is in heaven as everyone wants to pet him.
Teresa actually excelled at goal, attacking the ball, coming out to block angles, and generally behaving like a goalie should!
