The season comes to an end

Yes, these two crazies all bundled up in hats, coats and gloves to watch Ellie's soccer game in Texas!


As with everything else, there is a beginning - a middle and an end.  Ellie is not good at endings.  You may recall I'm reminding her pretty often to "smile because it happened, don't cry because it's over!"

Some things just don't change easily.

Her team, Pink Sprinkles finished the season 8-1-2.  Eight wins and two ties through yesterday.  Until today.  They lost to a team from the next age group up from hers.  And one of their strongest offensive players was home with a hurt foot.  They were at a huge disadvantage.  And yet they played on.

They are tough these 8-year old Pink Sprinkles!

Oh, and did I mention how stinkin' cold it was??  It was 38 degrees with blowing wind and spitting rain.  And they played on.  And all three of us are likely to get sick!  But they stuck it out until the very last whistle!

What an amazing season they had!
