day 37: "i am thankful for.......SOCCER!"

the soccer season is coming to a close... i have enjoyed going to all the games and look forward to next fall.  i am very glad sam has decided to become a soccer player.  i used to play, so i know how enjoyable it can be.  here is a picture of me i dragged out of the archives....:)
junior varsity-i was only 16!
i miss soccer...so i'm especially thankful that sam is playing. i get to kick a ball around once and a while again.  i also get to 'coach' him all the tricks i learned while i played.  i hope he sticks with it.  he not only gets in shape, but will make lasting friendships.  he will also learn skills such as leadership, competition, picking each other up, and supporting and helping others, to name a few.  these traits he can carry with him through out his life.
now, here are some of sam!
