Soccer

Nora is playing soccer this year. She is playing in the CYC league through the catholic church. This is the same league I grew up playing in. Our team is St. Catherine Laboure (SCL). She plays for 8 weeks and so far is really liking it. The coach is good and we actually work in the same district and his wife is our pediatrician. What a small world! Anyway....It is just so funny to see her all geared up in her soccer stuff and playing. She does really well at practices, games.....she is learning. She likes to watch the ball and she kept putting her hand on other players backs to guide them to the right spot. She was pretty funny, but she would not get in the action. I know, I know, she is only in kindergarten. But I love that she is getting involved in sports!!

Eckerts Fun

Last week went spent Labor Day at Eckerts Farm. It is a pretty neat place and we have taken Nora there before, but Stella had not been. Throughout the year they have strawberries, apples, peaches, blackberries, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins and other fruits and veggies too. When we went we hit the peak of honeycrisp apple season and the very tail end of peach season. The girls were really excited and Nora brought her friend Ally with her.
When we got there we walked around and saw some of the farm animals they have and had lunch. The big girls were really excited to have corn dogs (it cracks me up). After that we got on the tractor and headed out into the orchard. We let the big girls pick 5 apples each and they had so much fun doing it. They ate some apples while we were out too. After the apples we hit the peaches and they were nice and ripe. Stella ate a whole peach and wanted more. We were both covered in peach juice by the time we left. So much fun!
