Game On!

Can you feel it? Something in the air? That little bit of tingle or excitement?

THAT, my friends, whether you feel it or not, is the START OF SOCCER SEASON!!!!! WOO HOO!

OK ... sorry for that. You know how I get. And when it comes to SOCCER SEASON, I get down right bubbly with anticipation!

I can honestly say that SOCCER SEASON (yes, I'm going to shout it each and every time) has gotten off to a FANTASTIC start this fall. We let the boy go to a soccer skills camp this summer and it has paid off in every way imaginable. Not only are his skills a bit sharper, but his enthusiasm for the game has grown too. He hits the practice field and the game pitch with equal fervor. He doesn't have to be told twice to suit up for anything soccer related (even watching games on TV). It's a contagious attitude (and I hope I never recover).

SO ... time for some PICTURES, right?!

Here's my first few attempts at soccer pictures this fall.





and as a bonus ... here are a few of my favorite snaps from his first practice and first game:


(don't ya just love that emotion?!)


(I know it's dark, but at least they have their celebration down pat already)







Bring on Week 2!!! THIS soccer mom is READY!
