My Little Footballer

Another football season has started for PJ. God has worked it out for PJ to play in a church soccer league this fall! He is really doing well this year and enjoys his practice times. This morning was his first game and he did great! (Of course, I am partial!) This jersey has not been off PJ's body since Tuesday when he received it from his coach. The shirt is reversible (white on one side, blue on the other). PJ practices on Tuesday evenings and has his games on Saturday mornings. It's been great for him. They also are learning a verse and their coach sits down with them at every practice and shares with them something from the Bible. It is so different from the league PJ played in in Bangkok, that's for sure, but we are so thankful for all the opportunities he has been given to grow and mature but mostly to have fun! He told me today that he had a lot of fun this morning...that made me so happy.

Calvin is not yet old enough to play league football, but he sure did cheer his heart out for his brother on the sidelines this morning. It was SO precious! He was really getting into it...yelling , "go PJ go!" and "Go Falcons!"

The Falcons coach (the guy on the left hand side) made sure each kid got to goalie for a few minutes. PJ blocked one goal and one got by him. He liked being goalie...we'll see what happens with that!

This last picture was taken on Thursday morning. The boys enjoyed playing a bit of football before home school. (I told you, that jersey didn't come off all week!) Calvin inherited PJ's old shin guards (too small for this year). They had fun together...Calvin can't wait to join his brother on the football field!

Thank you Lord, for these healthy, happy boys.
