Emily's Pre-K


Emily has been working hard in Pre-K it seems. The teacher has a share drive where she saves pics. Nice to have a glimpse into her world at school. Later this week we have parent teacher conferences.

Last week Emily got to lead show and tell. She brought in some of her favorite toys and and a book to show the class. 





Girl Scouts


I have not had time to write about it but Ellie started Girl Scouts a couple months ago. So far they have had a couple meetings, a field trip to a local farm, and a Trunk or Treat event. 

hank you to everyone who purchased something from her online store. I think she met her goal of raising $150 for her troop. 

Ellie seems to be having fun and and getting to know the other girls who are all in the same grade and go to her school.

Soccer Update Week #8


Been a busy few weeks of travel for work so a bit behind. 

Anyhow week 8 soccer games this weekend. Emily and the Ponies continued their domination and handily defeated the Electric Dragonflies around 8 to 4. Em played the entire first half and put the Ponies up 6 to 0 before sitting in the second half to make it more competitive.

In the afternoon game the Mayhem went down 4 to 1. I think that makes their record 2 wins and 6 losses with one more game left in the reg. season. They just don't have the horses to compete. 










I like these next two pictures - Ellie and the other girl are pushing a little for positioning but Ellie beats her to the ball.

Week 4 Soccer





In week 4 soccer action the Ponies game up a bit short as did the Mayhem. 

In the first game Darcy had to fill in as head coach (with Ellie as her stand-in assistant). The ponies battled the Incredibles but lost somewhere on the order of 3 to 6. Em battled hard and came away with a couple goals. 


















In the 2nd game, the Mayhem had a tough loss 0 to 1 against the 1st ranked team, the Purple Dragons. It should have been a 0 to 0 tie but there was a penalty kick on what I thought was a bad call that allowed the Dragons to score their one goal of the game.
