Guests and soccer

If you remember me posting something about our little visitor on our deck...well lately two of them have enjoyed visiting our deck and patio.

I happened to notice a large amount of this on our deck floor.....

So I looked up and saw one of the birds building a nest. This is a picture of the end result, but it has been so fun for us to watch the whole process start from scratch. This is right outside of one of our living room windows and we can just sit and watch it all happen. It is amazing what these little things can do. They have quite a system....they will both fly away and before we know it they are back. One stops on the railing with a stick/leaf/grass/mud in its mouth while the other is up adding its piece to the nest. Then they switch spots. It's like one is keeping watch for the other.

It will be fun to watch the eggs hatch......

We have had lots of soccer games lately with all of the make ups due to the wonderful MN weather we have had. It has been fun. Here the younger two are planning their game plan on the empty field while we watched Connor play.

It was fun to see how much Connor has grown in his confidence, knowledge of the game, and skills.

He played his good friend from daycare, and Mary our daycare provider came to watch them. What a lady!

Jacob's fan club.

It was amazing watching Jacob's transformation throughout the season. If you remember my long post about his anxiety issues and not wanting to go out on the field.....you would never have guessed any of that happened if you came to watch his last couple of games. He was a maniac out there. In fact, he scored two goals in one game.

So proud of you Jacob.

Thank you to family that was able to come to cheer the boys on. They are so fortunate to be so supported.
