Following in our footsteps

We have been waiting for this day for a long time! It was a rare day that Chad was able to be home early from work ("when the sun was still out"!) We had dinner as a family and then made the journey to . . . AYSO soccer sign-ups.
That's right, Maya is following in her Daddy and Mommy's footsteps and starting soccer. She has been very excited to play. Every weekend there are soccer games going on at the middle school that we drive by and she is always asking, "when do I get to start playing soccer?" It doesn't help that her Papa (Lindsey's dad) is always asking that same question about Maya. So Maya (and Papa) finally got their wish.
And even more exciting is that Chad is signed up to be her coach (if they need him!). He was a little weary about signing up. All it took was for Maya to say, "Please Daddy, I really want you to be my coach. It will be so much fun!" Those string tugged on Daddy's heart and he agreed! Only of course if I helped. So in August the Hustead clan will be at the soccer fields running after the bee hive of kids chasing after the ball. We'll have to see if Maya is like most kids in the bee hive, or like her Mommy (and auntie's) who would be the smart one on the outside of the hive, wait for the ball to pop out, dribble down and score!

Well it looks like gammie is going to have to toss a coin to see what games she's going to watch. Hopefully nobody will be playing at the same time. haha

weird thought, I wonder if the ballet will help her be light on her feet. I remember the football team taking some kind of jazz or dance class during season to help them be more agile and quick. Could be a good combo! I know my kids will never have the chance to find out lol
