Soccer - Speaking of soccer, Jenna had a late afternoon game today. By the time I got there toward the end of the first period, the other team had scored two goals! The coach did the smartest thing at the break - she moved Jenna to forward and Megan to defense. Jenna is the fastest girl on our team and is not afraid to take a shot. Megan and Jenna have been our strongest defensive players. Megan has some speed, but her gift is defense, and she has a phenomenal kick (the kind you score with from the half-way mark). This was Jenna's first time playing forward, and when she got the opportunity to shoot, she took it. She scored our only two goals and tied the game. We've not been able to see her do this before because she is nearly always defending. Kelly and I were hoarse from cheering her on. Of course I have no pictures. The sun was right in our faces, so I didn't even try. I took one when we got home just to mark the happy event. She was so cute after her first goal as she said, "That felt really good." I knew she'd score a second one. She's had a taste, and it made her hungry. Look out world!
Monster Mash - Tonight was our church's Youth Dance for Halloween. Heather took her friend, Madi, and had a great time seeing all her friends from school and church. Heather went as "Red" from "Once Upon A Time." Red is a little more modern and sassy, so that was what Heather went for. She rocked my boots at about 5'8" tall, and red was her color. Gorgeous. She was a little disappointed that none of the boys asked her to dance. We told her that her beauty was probably very intimidating. She was happy for the compliment, but still a bit sad. At 13 she still has time, and those boys will be lining up at her door before we know it. Yikes!
