Just about 2 years ago, then 5-year-old Ethan and 6.5-year-old Gabi were begging to play soccer. Sure, we said, and we signed them up for a season in the Spring of 2021, bought them shin guards, and got excited about getting out there and playing. Except nobody got out anywhere in the Spring of 2021. Fast forward a year and a half later, we decided it was time to get back out there and try again. We are now a few weeks into their first soccer season. They enjoy being on the same team; they do a whole lot of running; sometimes, they make contact with the ball. I feel very proud of their effort and determination, regardless of their skill.

ready to go!
We were so excited and grateful that Nana and Zayde were still in town to join us on opening day!
As is the case with everything else in this family, we celebrated success with ice cream!
On weeks 2 and 3, Ethan and Gabi took home the sportsmanship awards for "Respect" and "Teamwork."
Like his mother before him, Ethan's coach figured out a great place for him playing defense. And like his mother before him, he has his own special beat to his own special dance.
