Richmond Strikers!

I signed Cora up for soccer back in early summer and I've been so excited for her to start her little soccer league! She is in the 4U Richmond Strikers league and two of her preschool friends are on her team too-Alex and Talia! Today she had her first game and did awesome! She listened well, ran fast, and kicked the ball really well! She was eating lunch after the game and said..."I don't think I scored a goal..." I told her she would next time!!  She has a game every Saturday until the end of October...I think I may be more excited than she is!

Talia and Cora!

Running fast!

So excited before the game...with her pink socks and ball!

Listening to directions during practice!

So cute!



She was very fast!



More practicing!

She got a popsicle after the game!

First day of school!

Preschool has started again! This is the second year Cora has gone to the Gingerbread Cottage Preschool. This year she is in the 3 year old program going to school 3 days a week-Monday through Wednesday. Her teacher is Mrs. Hennessy and we just love her already. I think she has some really great ideas for the school year so we are all very excited!! I had to work the first day of school so Nana was in charge! Thanks to my Mom for taking her to school and getting her there on time! Not easy with a one year old too!

All ready to go!!
