Team Player


Addie and Avery have officially started their very first experience of a sport- Soccer. We decided to put them in a soccer program at a local church called Upward Soccer. Upward Sports is a program that teaches the kids the fundamentals of the game but has positive reinforcement, scripture memorization for each week, stars for Christlike behavior, and overall efforts for being a good team player. Ryan and I feel this experience will be the first of many in which our girls will learn to be a team player and just have fun with sports and being on a team. Team playing is big in our household hence the name Triple A Team. We are trying to teach the girls that our family is a team and on this team you will be a team player and help many ways in this household.

These two team players fill me up with even more joy as I see their little faces and huge smiles running up and down a field, Avery trying to make sure the soccer ball is headed toward the right goal, Addie stopping in the middle of the game to pose for a picture, and to see them kneel down and listen attentively to their coach!

Oh how I love these experiences and treasure these moments.

I love these team players and I am so glad their on MY Team!
