My Soccer Girl

Molly is playing soccer in our neighborhood league again this fall. I can't believe it's her 6th season! She is #4 (Uncle Johnny's old number) on the "Cobras." Their coach moved them up an age division this year. He felt they were ready for the challenge, but prepared them that, being the youngest team, they might lose most of their games. We'll see what next week holds, but they won their first game 4-0! It was so much fun to watch them.
Last Saturday, 9-19-09, they had team pictures before their first game.
(There is one other girl on the team, but she wasn't there for pictures.)

Molly loves to run, so soccer suits her well. Coach has the kids run laps at the beginning and end of every practice. I get tickled watching her lead the pack of boys each week. I'm not sure where she got it (neither her dad nor I particularly enjoy running), but she is so fast. My daddy always says she's got "crazy legs."

Molly and Anthony
Molly and Anthony met in preschool (at age 3) and instantly became friends. They go to different schools, so we always sign them up for the same team. It is fun for them to get to see each other, and the mamas like the time to catch up. Anthony has 3 little sisters who are the team's most loyal cheerleaders.
