Emma's first Soccer Game

The Pixies had their first soccer game this morning and they all did a great job! Even though they did not win, we knew going in that this would be a learning year. The girls seemed to have a really great time and there was some great effort out there!

First Soccer Practice

Emma had her very first soccer practice last week. Most of her school friends are on her team and she had a great time learning about the game! Here are a few pictures before we left the house.

We had to hide the fact that her shin guards are black by wearing a lot of pink! (She was worried someone would think she was a boy :)
Ian went with us to practice, too so of course he had to bring Daddy's ball.
We will be putting the minivan to use starting this week with practice carpools and Emma's first game is this Saturday!
Go Pixies!

Emma's 6th Birthday

It is hard to believe that we have a 6 year old in our house! We celebrated Emma's birthday in Virginia with family and friends and we also had a small birthday party by having tea at our local Tea shop.
