Let the games begin!

Luke started his first sport ever.....Soccer aka le football. Greg used to call them "lawn fairies" right up until Saturday! Luke will be on the team called "Avalanche". Sounds exciting eh?

This is a shot of Luke doing "sit ups" - we now know we need to teach him how to do them. He simply placed his hands on the ground and lifted his bottom up and down. It was HILARIOUS!

This is the Lukester with Coach Darin heading the ball without fear! His buddies Bennett and Ben look on waiting for their turn...

Drills and Exercises..... up .....and under.......

Coach Darin was the perfect balance of tough that is appropriate for a 3-4 year old team. He is really hands on and I can tell by his following that he is admired by many. 

Although this was only his first practice I can see that Beckham....I mean Luke....is really feeling good about his new "sport".  Every time there was a water break he would take a quick sip and RUN back onto the field. He did not want to miss a minute. He followed instructions incredibly. Greg and I are so proud of him. I will be sure to post more pics as the season continues =)
