Comp Soccer and Piano

Last night Drew found out he made the team for competetive soccer. For those of you who don't know - this is different from "run of the mill I play soccer for fun" leagues. This is suppose to be better players and coaches and they compete against teams that are in other cities. This requires, of course, more money and time! The coach has been looking at Drew and calling him since last season. We pretty much knew he would have a spot if he wanted one. The coach wants him for his goalie skills....helps to have a 6 foot wing span at age 10! So Jim and I chatted with the team manager after Drew was told he was on the team....that is right....a team manager for 10 year olds. Jim and I are skeptical but agreed to commit for the spring season which is 8 or 10 games and not a lot of travel. It will be interesting to see Drew play with and against kids that are as good as he is. Although it might be hurtful to his ego. When it comes right down to it, we are more like a "we play for fun family" then we are a "we live and breath family". We will keep you posted and will post pics of his first big save!

In the meantime, I will continue my search for piano lessons for Gracie....she has decided out of the blue that she wants to learn the piano.
