Andrew and Marin are both playing soccer again. Andrew is playing U9 and Marin is playing U7 level soccer. They are both doing really well this year. Andrew has taken to really attacking the ball which he hasn't done in years past. He has played a variety of positions from sweeper to forward. He has yet to play goalie, although he doesn't show much interest in it. He has gotten really quick as well. In their toughest game this year, Andrew scored one of two goals that his team got. They lost 5-2 but Andrew was really proud of himself. It was a sweet shot. He has scored in several games and made a few attempts that were incredibly close. It is like a different soccer player from last year. We are so proud of his playing.
Marin is incredible. She blows the other girls out of the water. We always knew that Marin was fast but she has amazing ball control for a girl her age. She scored 5 goals in her last game, 3 the game before. I have lost track of all of them. She just keeps after the ball until she is taking a shot on the goal. She has come close to many other goals, but the net is so small that she has been just wide on several occasions. I look forward to many years of seeing her skills improve. It has been pretty great watching both our kids do so well.

That's awesome! I love an aggressive girl - on the field at least. :) Way to go Marin!! I hope your league has it so the play at the same time? Last season we had three games at three different times and in three different places. It was crazy. :)
