Goals and Goalies

As most of you know, soccer is a big part of the Ward Family each and every fall (and all year in Faith's case). So far in the season we have been able to watch each of our children score goals, which is wonderful and amazing for their confidence level! I have found that my kids not only like to score goals, but to save them as well. That is something they did not get from me. I never had any desire to be goalie and I always sit there watching them play goalie saying, "please don't let them score on my child." Gavin has done a great job this season being goalie and his younger brother Brayden has followed in his footsteps. Gavin had one game where he was goalie the whole game and didn't get scored on at all. He stopped at least 20 goals and made several kids flip over the ball. I was very proud of him (not just for making the kids flip over, but for not being afraid.) His season ended on Saturday and ended with him scoring a goal. Not bad at all!
Faith is just awesome and her team is doing so great this year! Her games are so much fun to watch, and I keep thinking I can't have the baby yet, I don't want to miss seeing her play. She has a real passion for the game, like her mother, and is as agressive as she needs to be. I am so proud of her, and of all of them. Landon can't wait to get into soccer and have his own team!
