Our Soccer Player

Karis started her first season of soccer. She had been wanting to play for awhile, and when we realized she was truly interested, we signed her up. Well, we put her on the waiting list because the deadline had already passed. Thankfully she got off the list and was put on a great team -- Maroon Mermaids! The team is made up of some great players, some have played together for years. We love the two coaches. They are so patient and encouraging with the team. 

We weren't sure if Karis was going to like soccer. We didn't know if people watching her would make her nervous or if we would have to have the "you signed up and made a commitment and you're going to finish the season" conversation with her. Our worries were unfounded as she has been loving it. She improves so much after each practice and game. It has been fun to watch her learn, make new friends and gain confidence!

Here are a few pictures from before and after her first game.
