Unfortunately Alexis won’t ever get to tell us how fun soccer was this year. She has been watching from the sidelines with a broken arm. The day she broke her arm was on a Sunday. As we were pulling into the driveway that day she started clapping her hands in the back seat with a gigantic smile on her face declaring that her first soccer game was Tuesday! She had a couple of practices and was having such a good time. Then the broken arm incident occurred.
She received bad new this past week that she wouldn’t be able to play for 4 more weeks. Well, soccer will be over by then. She was very disappointed and close to tears – remember she didn’t even cry when she broke her arm! She sat in for the picture of her team the “Ferocious Snails” this past week on the day she got the news. The team is made up of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders! Next year can’t come soon enough now.
Lex and I decided to plan something really fun for the day that her cast comes off – hopefully this will help lessen the disappointment of not playing soccer this year. She is a good girl.

She looks happy in all the pictures we see her in even if soccer isn’t part of the program this year. I’ll bet you have lots of fun with your mom too.
