Soccer Star and other Stars!

Kirill started soccer last week. Saturday was his first game. He LOVED it! He wants to have a game every day. He did a great job for his first ever soccer game. He has a lot of natural athletic ability (something Matt and I are very grateful to his birth parents for since both of us lack this trait). His team won. "Mom, we creamed them." Kirill reported. "What does creamed mean?" Oh, the joys of athletics and learning from other teammates!

Our other stars pictured below were having fun posing with their sunglasses. Gracie is turning into quite the ham, and Courtney is worried about getting Caroline in every picture. Courtney put the sunglasses on Caroline (and didn't even blind her by poking her in the eye with the glasses). I love how Caroline's eye is right between the glasses.

Kirill with some of his teammates.

Kirill playing defender. They have no goalies at this level. While playing defender, Kirill got the ball and started kicking it down the field toward the other goal. Then he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be playing defender, so he kind of stopped, left the ball there and ran back to his defender spot. It was a cute moment (he has been instructed what to do next time."

Caroline looks like a cyclops after Courtney fitted her with the sunglasses.

I'm a rock star! The girl loves sunglasses, and phones, and shoes and dressups. Look out!

Who taught her to pose like that? I told her to say "cheese" and this is what I got:)
