Goooooaaaaallll!
Nina (in black and gold goalie shirt) and Emily in the huddle.
What a chilly start to this sports-filled Saturday! We had to bundle up all the girls for Emily's soccer game. And fortunately, we were able to find a parking space that offered a prime viewing spot from the van. This made for a much more enjoyable experience for the siblings, who spent much of the game working on coloring and drawing.
Lauren worked out of the front seat during the game while Olivia seated herself in first class and Julia in coach. That's Uncle Jon's reflection in the window.
Emily's team was victorious against St. Margaret Mary, 3-2. It was a 2-1 game with fewer than five minutes remaining when SMM scored a easy goal with Emily at the fullback spot and Nina in goal. But St. Thomas More roared back with the winning goal about two minutes later.

The news was not so good for Lauren's team in its game against the Cathedral Attack.
Falling behind early, the St. Thomas More Lions did not match up very well against a team of mostly second graders. But at least they did not get shut out. Final score: Attack 7, Lions 1.

Yep, we picked up a win against the big green machine today. It was pretty exciting. Unfortunately, we couldn't get by Cathedral later on.
Thanks for replying!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
