Soccer begins!

Cate plays Upwards soccer each Saturday and her first game was this past week.  She does an awesome job and scored several goals to help her team work.  We are proud that she is a good soccer player but we really really love that she received a "Christlikeness" star after the game.  She has a kind heart like Jesus and we love love that about her!

And here come the mighty Galaxy team ready to take on their opponents in good sportsmanship style.

Josh is playing football instead of soccer this year and I think he really misses the soccer.  He kept hanging around the team and his favorite coach.

We also had the opportunity to see Grandma Joan.  Our kids know that where Grandma Joan is there usually is ice cream soon to follow.

 

Of course we are trying to get in every last bit of lake time we can.  Cate and I had a girls day at the lake on Sunday.  It's always fun to see Grandma Carol and float in the lake with her.

Our deck needed a little tender loving care so we started on that also.  The kids are great at pitching in and helping out.  We love their heart for serving.

The Upwards scripture for the week is "Love everyone deeply.  Honor others more than yourselves."  Romans 12:10 
Thanks for reading the blog and praying for us. 

Choosing joy,
