Seth's first soccer game

Seth had his first soccer game last week Wednesday. It was fun watching him. He had some fans come out and see him (Auntie Dani, Papa & Grandma, Mrs. Baker who is his JK teacher, Ethan and Mommy, Daddy had to work). He has never played soccer before, but had fun playing for 1/2 of the game. I think he got upset because he was trying to kick the ball, and someone from the other team kicked it instead. It is kinds of funny, since kids learn at home and at school to share and not take things away from others, and in soccer the whole idea is to get the ball away from the other team. I can see how confusing that would be for a 5 year old. We hope that he will get the hang of soccer and enjoy the season of playing. His coach happens to be our family dentist and her husband coaches as well. The following pictures are from the first game.

Ethan was trying to take a picture of Auntie Dani, he has the idea of what to do, just needs to learn to point the lense the other way.

Some exciting news! We are moving! We ended up listing our house on the market at the beginning of April. After 2 weeks of lots of showings and an open house, Paul's parents told us that they wanted to buy our house. Paul's mom has always loved our home. Since we had listed the house through our agents (who by the way are really awesome agents if you ever need one!, Check the post below for their name and number) we were bound by contract to stay with them for a period of time. Anyways, Paul's parents contacted them and put in an offer, and we accepted. So as of the end of July, we will be moving into our new home. We had put an offer on this home with condition that we sold our home. Things worked out so smoothly and you can see God's hand, timing and plan in this all. We are thankful and excited!!!

Our home for 5 years
