Soccer Fans

Madison has had two soccer games so far this season. It has been so much fun. She is doing really well, especially for being so new to the game. Hayden is on her team along with Griffin and Carson. Having friends on the team sure makes it more fun!



She has had a big turnout for soccer fans. Our family has been so sweet in taking an interest in her new sport! This Saturday was our biggest turn-out with Nana and Popa coming in from Brenham. Gigi and Pappy from Centerville. Erica and Ben were our Abilene representatives. Uncle Jared, Aunt April, Aunt Penny, Uncle Mark and our family were all there too! We had quite the crowd. It meant so much to Maddie. I overheard her telling one of her school friends all about her Soccer Fans!

My dad was so funny. He could be heard from across the field cheering for Maddie. April, who has made it to both games, said she heard him from the parking lot. Brings back childhood memories! My dad has always been our biggest cheerleader in the family, something I adore about him.


I think Caden is going to follow his footsteps. See how intent he is watching Maddie play!

This week, her team did not have any subs so they played the entire game. We definitely got our money's worth. She had an assist and Hayden scored two goals which thrilled her to death.



Maddie has really worked hard and been a good listener. We are all so proud of her. We thank God for opportunities like this so that she can develop these skills. We also feel extremely blessed to have such a loving and supportive family even if we look like the BIG Fat Greek wedding bunch!
