It's Crescendo Time for Fall Soccer


Well, our family has had a great time for the past six weeks enjoying soccer four nights a week, and then all day on Saturday. Our season is coming to a crescendo this weekend. All five children played three play-off games to see which teams would make it to the semifinals. We had nine different games today. David-2, Caleb-2, Christiana-2, Charity-2, and Zachary-1. We started the morning early with Beth taking the majority of the players at 8:15 A.M. Joel was added to the mix because he's refereeing. He did four games himself today. At 9:00 A.M., both Caleb and David had games. The party continued until just before 5:00 P.M. when Charity's last game ended. She and her teammates were awarded a trophy after that game because they did not qualify for the semifinals, and thus their season was complete.

That means that the other four DID make the semifinals. David's team got in after they won the third tie-breaker. We're happy that Nathan is coming home tonight, and will hopefully be able to see his siblings play a game or two before the end of the season comes this week.
