Summer Days, Soccer Craze!

The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.
~Phil Woosnam, 1974

Soccer is a BLESSING!
Because it gets our family together!

Garnet and I where just having a calm cup of tea on the patio together while the kids played when all of a sudden I was on my own because a soccer match broke out! Only on my own long enough to sit and take a few pictures and then join in. It just so happens that we always seem to have a rip roaring good time as a family when we have a good soccer match in the yard.

(The crowd is wild!! Well maybe not... eventually they got involved in the game too and then they got pretty wild. No more side lines for these two babes of mine. Just last year they could only watch!)

(I always love to see my man with the kids. He is very good at playing with them and I appreciate the effort he puts into that!)(Baby Boy is fearless about getting right in there, as you can see... the problem is he often just wants the ball and once he has it he will run off the field with the other players in hot pursuit!)

(Little Woman is yelling out the rules, just like her role model Big Girl would. She makes her sister proud!)

We laugh so hard and play so hard together! Summer days are here! My older two will be home any minute now from their last day of school... school might be officially over today but we have already been intoxicated with the joy of summer for some time!

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world.
