after the third week of soccer tryouts -all that hope and ambition and parting from old team mates and parents and the end of another good season with medals and tears and joy and penalties won and lost and goals concede and won and referees who couldnt see straight and linesmen who made jokes and and and....OH it will all start again but it will be different the kids are getting more skilled and the faces of the parents and siblings will change too. What a good thing it is to be a mother and part of all this with my camera to hand!
