The Fair Park Futbol Team


It looks like I am officially a soccer mom!  As if the Dodge Grand Caravan isn't enough...Canaan is on his first real soccer team this year-The Fair Park Futbol-ers!  HE LOVES IT!  Everyone on his team attends the same preschool which reinforces great friendships. We haphazardly missed the first 2 practices and first game--(not our fault) so his first time with the team was a game 2 weeks ago.

(Bear with me while I brag on him a little...you have been forewarned!)

He made fast friends and was a great team player--playing defense so his teammates could score!  The second game on September 26th, he scored 5 goals during the first 5 possessions!  The rest of the game we had to ask him to let his friends have a turn to score.  His coach still plays competitively and says that they usually don't teach passing until age 6-7, but that Canaan "just gets the game" so he is giving him advanced lessons!

I say all of this because Canaan is soooo proud of himself, and Mac and I are experiencing, for the first time, how fun it is to watch our child strive to accomplish something with a team and succeed!  Congratulations, sweet boy!  We'll be cheering for you!


Pardon the pic quality from the "diaper bag camera", but these pictures are from week 1...
