Season End

We wrapped up the soccer season this Saturday. It has flown by, but each kiddo on Jeremy's team has made some major progress this Spring. We ended up only losing one game this season. Jeremy and the kids were so excited and proud.

O very naturally fell into a defensive role on the team. He never scored, but he blocked dozens of potential goals the other teams might have scored. He was the guy who would head the ball off to turn it back around towards our goal. Jeremy was so proud of how much Owie learned this season and how far he has come.

The fan club.

Owen was always excited to have the people he loves most cheering him on.

A funny story about the tunnel of high-fives: It turns out that Owen does not enjoy being touched by strangers. He would willingly run through the tunnel, grinning all the while, but he very carefully kept his hands tucked in close to his body the whole time. Funny Boy.

Our very squinty fam

PARTY time!! We all headed to Cici's to celebrate the end of the season.

The trophies were even bigger and brighter than last year!

My favorite part of the party was hearing all the wonderful things the parents had to say about Coach Jeremy. I, of course, knew these things and had heard them from the parents all season, but Jeremy had never heard such praise first hand. They presented him with gifts and a wonderful photo book capturing the special moments of the season. Jeremy enjoyed his team and coaching so much, and it is very obvious in his relationship with the parents and team members.

Our honorary team member received a soccer trophy too. It is now his prized possession.

We already can't wait until soccer starts again in the Fall!
