Senior Night

Senior night for soccer, already. Where did time go?

Last night we attended Senior night at Sofie's final, regular season home game. During half-time, we presented Sofie and walked across the field. Of course, there were some differences from the other families.

A. We are host parents and not her real parents (but we love her just as much!).

B. We were significantly younger than most of the other families.

And C. We were the only family to have a SCREAMING two year old.

When I describe screaming, picture full-on, arched back, won't move, have to pick him up screaming. He was fine one minute, then screaming the next. We actually heard the crowd laugh. Poor Sofie, it was supposed to be her moment to shine, but that is life with a two year old. I'm sure she'll remember it forever! Oh, and notice our WINTER coats...does this place ever warm up?

Sofie has been able to be a part of something very special. In Norway, sports teams don't coincide with the high school. School spirit is a new phenomenon for her and has been incredibly exciting for her to play such an important role on her team. I'm sure she'll always remember with fondness, "We are the Titans, the mighty, mighty Titans!" Go West!
