First game of the season!

We now return to our regularly scheduled blog posts *laughs*

I'm so sorry I was gone for so long...a lot of unexpected things came up all at once and blogging kind of got put on the back burner. Then when life got back under control I felt overwhelmed that I couldn't ever "catch up" on my blog. So, I just stopped blogging, and that isn't fun. I was missing journaling about our lives and having these sweet memories to look back on.

So, I'm just going to start fresh from today and if I have a chance to do some "flash back" posts to fill in the blanks I will *winks*

Anyway, Kenny's soccer team played their first game of the season on Monday and we were SO excited to see how it would go. Kenny purchased some new soccer coaching DVD's that he's been watching and doing drills all summer in the backyard getting ready for the new season.
Let me just say, his team is looking better and more coordinated than ever. (and they have always looked good to me!). I think the new drills and practice techniques are really working!

One thing that I loved seeing at the game was some of Kenny's former players (who are now in High School) who showed up just to see "Coach Schell" and watch the team. See them there below standing right behind Kenny...I don't think Kenny even realises just how much of an impact he has on the lives of his students and team. I'm so thankful for his generous spirit, patience and willingness to spend so much time with them!

I like to call this next picture "Hallelujah" because it looks like Kenny is throwing his hands in the air in praise *winks* We just won three to nothing!

Do you see how he's got a dress shirt and tie on in these pictures? He asked his whole team to dress up for the school day when they have a game that evening. His theme this year is to make every game special. To teach them that they are not only representing their teammates, but the school and all the past players and he wants them to look nice. I thought that was a really great idea!

It felt great to be outside in the sun, on the grass watching my hubby coach a game that I've grown to love. Here's to hoping the season continues with even more smiles!
