Elijah has been waiting all his life...

Elijah is 4 years old now. He is growing up very fast. Today he started soccer for the first time. This is his first official sport. He told me today that he has been waiting all his life to play soccer! What a long wait in a child's mind. Soccer started at 5:30 and he had a blast. He talked the whole practice...mainly to other team members. He had a smile as big as can be the whole time. When practice was over, we had to fly to Caravan at church. He was very happy to wear his new uniform and show all his church friends. Tonight he told me that he just loves soccer and that it was the best day. I'm so happy for him. Jeremiah found some kids from our local homeschool group to play with. Isaiah kept himself content by playing with a soccer ball and an empty goal.

How adorable! Seems like yesterday I was going to soccer practice with you! Ryan and Evan are dying to get into a sport. It is a little more difficult in this area, as I'm sure you know. We are looking into Upwards, and hoping it works out this year. Have a great week with your mom!
