This is Oakley’s first year playing club soccer. To be quite honest, we weren’t sure how it would go. Going in, we knew she liked soccer, due to Daddy and Aspen’s influence. Now she loves it, due to Coach Brandon’s influence. Our conversation one night on the way home from …
In the end, it was the greatest sporting moment I’ve ever experienced. Great moments, memorable ones, are always a confluence of events. A first quarter three pointer fades from memory before the game ends. For me, and for us, this moment was special in the game and beyond. The Background …

That’s right, we’ve already seen Oakley play soccer this week, but she found herself in a second game this week. Watch for Oakley’s near misses and Aspen’s successes.
I know this blog has been loaded with soccer of late… but that’s what life’s like it seems. Two days a week, three hours each time… we’re playing a lot of soccer. Fortunately for all involved, our girls really like soccer, and so do I. First up this week? Oakley …
