Now in her third year of soccer, Caras games are getting exciting. She now knows how to play defense and get past the opponents. Her team has many girlfriends from school and girlscouts.

Madison's team is now 4th in her division. They are really working hard and improving. Here she takes the ball up the field and ends in a corner kick. I missed this game but was able to get a play by play via cell phone messaging.

Being a school night I was torn as to whether the girls would be able to handle the last game of the season. It was Fan Appreciation night at the Timbers as well as a silent auction. I decided to risk it and let them go. I am sure I am going to pay for it tomorrow but the girls were left with great memories of this game. Cara won #19 Troy Readys' shirt and boy did she have a smile ear to ear when he took the jersey off his back and gave it to her.

We managed to make it through the first day of school without much difficulty. Cara was both excited and hungry. We had a picnic dinner at the nature park and Tim went over the school rules (At the second graders level) while we had strawberries, melon, and sandwiches. We then left for soccer practice. Its back to the busy schedule again.

Paul invited us over to pick apples and make cider. This was my first experience in home made cider and it was a lot of fun. I hope we can do it again next year. Tim has posted the cider photos here! My Favorite one is this one of Madison.
