Luke starts soccer...

Soccer season has started again and we now have 2 players in the family. So our Tuesday nights now consist of back-to-back practices and our Saturdays will be full of games. The schedule is yet to be released but I'm hoping, for my sanity's sake, that not too many of Kate and Luke's games will be scheduled at the same time, at different locations. Such is the life of a soccer mom, huh? Kate's team practices right next to where Luke's does so John and I spend that hour back and forth, taking turns watching each practice. Luke is getting a kick (haha!) out of playing and has thoroughly enjoyed his practices so far. I'm thinking we're going to have a much more enthusiastic player in him than in his sister. He definitely gave me more action to photograph this week. We'll have to work on Kate for a following post. ;)

Warming up with Daddy

At the end of practice this week, we had a very entertaining voting session to decide the name of the team. Their jerseys are white with a lightning bolt design down the front so the options were...The Lightening Bolts or The Stormtroopers. Trying to explain to 4 & 5 year old boys that they could only vote for the one they liked the best was tough but we finally managed to come up with a system and with a very close vote of 5 to 4 we are officially....

The Stormtroopers!!
