I can't tell you how proud I am of Donnie. He has been a soccer coach for 10 years. He started coaching for our neice and took the team thru till they were in 8th grade even though she was on ly on the team for the 1st season. I told him it was time for Corrin to have him coach her and he happily agreed. Last fall he started an all girls team for Corrin and in the spring I volunteered him to coach for both Corrin and Connor. So he has 2 teams to coach. It has been a juggling act but he has managed to make it look easy.I however am the mother duck who picks up all the little ducklings from school. Since our house is across from the park we are the changing and bathroom for the teams. I am happy the kids are able to feel comfortable in our home. However I am ready for soccer to be over and not have almost the entire week filled w/games or practice. On avg we are at games 3 times a week and practice the other 2. There are quite a few other parents w/kids on both teams. I am a home body so being on the go so much drives me a bit crazy.
I do love that the kids are able to get out and do some thing but w/the weather turning cold it is harder on the kids. Corrin has been sick during the first half and now feeling better. I just love to see Donnie helping out my kids and others. He has a gift! Did I mention that in Jan they have a team at a church in Roswell for kids 3 to 5 and I volunteered him to coach that one last winter for Ian & Connor? He will have Ian & Kolette this year. Now if Ian will just decide to play that will be a HUGE accomplishment. You can lead a boy to the soccer field but you can't make him move.
