Pure Joy!

Today was Samuel's first soccer game. What a beautiful day for a soccer game! Samuel had a permanent smile plastered on his face the whole game and had so much fun. As you may know, Samuel is a verbal child and had to narrate the whole game. He talked, screamed and squealed with delight (Jeremy and I wondered if he would be hoarse at the end of the game) the whole time, "get the ball", "go the other way," "Whahooo!", "I got it", "did you see that?" I laughed and smile the whole first 5-10 minutes he played because he was having such a great time and enjoying the playing he just seemed full of JOY. I was actually surprised at how well he did - he's definitely a runner and enjoyed the game. Lucy had a great time playing with some of the other little sisters - beautiful morning to be at the field at watch my kiddos out in the sunshine.

All smiles!

Bench time (they try to play all players equally so he sat about half the game but didn't seem to mind)
