Vanessa puts another season of soccer under her belt

Vanessa wrapped up the fall soccer season this month. The Firealls played up to U11 so gone were the days of being undefeated. They worked hard and the girls grew quite a bit. Vanessa is one of the youngest on the team, so she strugged a bit, but had some great moments on the field.

It was a transition year for her, a lot of ups and downs, but we are proud of her for working really hard. We're not sure what's in store for her for the spring season, but she wants to continue playing, so stay tuned!

BTW: Mike and I now play on an indoor soccer league with the parents of Vanessa's team mates. It's a lot of fun, but, man, there's not a week that goes by that we don't realize that we are now in our mid-30's. We'll keep playing as long as our bodies allow us!
