And the Season's Begin

Victoria's corner Kick

After the first mile....
Coming down the home stretch of the second mile....
Feeling the pain......





Today, Victoria and I started off at 7:30 so we would be in BG by 8:00 for the first Cross Country meet. She ran really well for her first race...2 miles in 14 1/2 minutes through fairly rough terrain. Lots of dips, apples down, etc...etc... She wasn't able to get to the inside of the pack until after the first couple of turns, so I think that hurt her time a little, but she came in 19th with about 100 girls running. She also had a disadvantage starting in the second row.
Soccer was going great for Victoria today. She played an excellent game today. Unfortunately, even though they led almost the entire game, we had a penalty with under 2 minutes to play and the other team scored to tie it 1-1. I missed Maddie's game today, but will get to see her play tomorrow :)
Above is Maddie's first day of school layout. She loves polka dots, so I had to use the green polka dot paper. I popped off the third grade stickers to add more dimension.
