look at her go

Sweet Ellie has had such a wonderful experience this fall playing soccer. 

The "Hammerheads" have currently played 4 games.... won 2 and lost 2.

The pictures below happened to be her first game of the season,

and you can tell by the last picture whether they won or lost that game! 

Her coach has been wonderful, having four of his own girls playing....

How we love watching our children find "their thing".....
and soccer is definitely Ellie's sport!

We have recently discovered that Ellie has grown an entire
inch this summer. To say the least,
we have had to do a bit of shopping as of late
since all her fall/winter clothes are too small now.
She can now wear my shoes.
now, THAT IS CRAZY!!
My first-born is growing up so quickly,
as are all my little ones.
I'm ever reminding myself to cherish each day I have with them,
because before I can blink they will all be grown.

I hope to share a few more things about #1 later this week....
so stay tuned!
