Our Amazing Soccer player!

Yep that amazing soccer player would be our son Malachi! He has played two games so far and has one every Saturday until October 20th. It's is such a joy watching him do something he loves. Malachi is doing a great job learning what it means to be a part of a team, while still working hard at better his skills.



Malachi's team won this game 10-0!
 

Malachi scoring his fourth point of the game!

Mal scored 8 goals for his team D.C. United, which helped them win 18-8!

So this is what it feels like....

So this is what it feels like to have two of your three children head off to school....my emotions have been very mixed this past week. We have decided to let Kaitlin go back to Rosy for 2nd grade instead of staying at home to learn this year. Needless to say I have to consistently give this over to God.
Malachi is attending a second year of preschool, which I question if he will get bored (he missed the young five cut-off by four days), but he loves his teachers and friends, so if anything I'll be doing more with him at home this year.
And then there is my baby, Zeke, who is eating up the extra time with Mom and Dad. And I must say we are lovin' the one on one time with him.
