My honey and I were never so proud last night… our son played his first soccer game.

He had a blast. I realize I’m biased, but he stayed on the ball more than any kid I saw on either team. They have a ways to go, it was their first game and they’d only had two practices. The kids on the other team were bigger and more experienced, and their coach had been coaching that age group for some time, you could tell.

But our Turtles did not give up! They ran their little hearts out until an 8-0 finish. Donovan told me yesterday morning that soccer was his “thing” and that he was super excited to be a soccer man. :) Precious. I am so happy for him to have finally found that “thing” that motivates him. I just can’t wait till he gets that same bug for surfing! For now I am just so stoked that he and his dad have this; Nate has started helping a little here and there and is hoping to help coach. He’s going to be wonderful, I couldn’t be more proud of either of them!

A few pics of the Turtles v. the Gold Medallions… D is the cutest one of course, and has the number two on his back. ;)
