WHAT!!
I am seriously so excited that Gabby is doing an organized sport... you just have no idea!
This kid who was born DEAF, with serious heart issues, and all sorts of 'supposed' genetic issues (not to mention NO coordination!) jumped right in with the big kids and LOVES playing field hockey...
with a stick...
and a stone ball...
I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD!!
Here she is on her first day... it was raining so it was inside.The next week she shot out of the car to the field. She did NOT want us to walk her down... she is a big kid after all (actually it is a 4-6 year old team, and yes she is 3!) :)
The coaches are so cute! They actually were doing drills and ball skill work. I am impressed at their expectations.. :)
That is my kid in the pink pants and white sweatshirt! *beam, beam*
Her coach is very into making that a great experience...so before the drills she explains how important it is to cheer for our 'teammates.'
Gabby getting shooting instructions...
and she scores... oh wait... not yet... :) Come on Gabs one more hit!
There she goes! Nice goal!
Post goal instructions...I can just hear her saying "keep your eye on the ball."
Emmy had a ton of fun playing outside while Gabby played hockey... she kept running all over the field doing diving somersaults. It was pretty hilarious...
I love my girls and am so excited for this new stage of life... Organized sports!

Too cute for words -- the girls and the monograms! I love your blog and I hope you'll consider adding it to the blog aggregator at Deaf Village (www.deafvillage.com). Happy Hearing!
ReplyDeleteAhh! What I would give for field hockey to be offered to little kids in my community!
ReplyDeleteHello:
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! I'm wishing I could see the girls' costumes; they are always so precious.
We went up today to help Will, Kate, and Luke carve pumpkins and watch a dismal football game. The pumpkins turned out great. Kate's pumpkin was Cinderella's face and we added glitter to it! She is full on into glitter and its sparkly effects.
My friend used to date the President of St. L Bread Company so I chuckled when I read your comments.
Do you drink coffee?? When did you grow up and drink coffee?? Hehe
We had a great weekend in Sante Fe last weekend. I had never been there and was treated to an unbelievable weekend including a spa day. I 1000% agree with your comments on kids getting mani-pedis. What will they have to look forward to when they are older?
I miss you all!!
We are hoping the Giants win the Series. So fun to watch.
Have you monogramed something for Flora yet? I am imagining that must be the first time you have written that name as it's not a very common name but very botantical.
