Celebrating Super Seniors

This week Katie had her last home game as a Varsity soccer player at ACA. Hard to believe Katie's soccer career is most likely coming to a close. She's had many good years on the fields of California and Michigan. From AYSO to club teams to Varsity level, it's all been fun. (Right?) At this last game, the two seniors got to be the captains for the day. The junior girls made signs and brought flowers and gifts for them which they presented after the game. The girls all get along pretty well and said some sweet things about Katie. Katie is known for her fun spirit and her big throw-ins. (She really can make that ball fly.) Katie's had a good season this year on defense. The team is in third place in their league and is headed for play-offs next week. (Let's see, next week...Katie has soccer. Kam has soccer and softball. Troy has baseball. We'll make it...somehow!)
Love the lighting of this shot.

No worries, I get looks like this regularly!

Katie, these photos are wonderful and great reminders of all the terrific times we enjoyed watching you play. You are a champion -- hanging in, playing hard, corner kicking, throwing in, and scoring (your goal here at Christian in your last game still stands out)! It's great seeing you recognized in your senior year for your positive spirit, talents of music, academics, sports, spiritual leadership and joy. We love you. Grandma and Boppa R
