soccer season has begun!

Today was Julia's first day of soccer. She was so excited she woke up at 6am, ready to go. We all packed up and left for the field around 10:30. Julia waited patiently for me to find her coach, for her t-shirt to be handed out and to be introduced to her teammates. She was a little shy at first, but was so excited that she could still see me and daddy on the sidelines. She waved to us, almost non-stop. She was so cute stretching her little legs and arms out before the game began. At first she was put on defense, and told not to bunch up with the other kids. Well, she did what she was told alright and didn't move...not even a little bit! All of the parents on the sidelines started to cheer Julia on with us and before long, she was the talk of the sidelines. Everyone was amused by her waving, signing "I love you" and making "woggle goggles" with her fingers against her face. Too bad her woggle goggles didn't see the other kid coming straight for her because she got knocked down and ended up withh a pretty good size egg on her head. What would a day at the fields be with out a trip for an ice pack? A blue slush from her coach sure did make her feel better though!

Here are some pics of the day...

Go get your telephone

Last night my sister came over to watch a movie with me. She arrived at my house about 7:30 pm, right as Julia was getting ready for bed. Krissy joined Jay, Julia and I on the couch to watch Sponge Bob. When Julia blurted out:

"Krissy, I'm gonna call you!"

She ran over and picked up the house phone. She scrolled through the stored phone book of numbers and sure enough called Krissy. As soon as the phone started to ring on Julia's end, she was yelling at Krissy to answer her phone. When Krissy answered (who was sitting on one side of me, Julia on the other) Julia began belly laughing. She thought having this conversation was the silliest thing. Really, words cannot describe how funny this was. It was even funnier when mid conversation she blurted out,

"okay, now let me talk to my daddy!"

This continued for a few minutes until she told daddy and I to go get our telephones so she could call us, too.

Easter

It's been a while but here is an Easter update:

Julia had a grand ol' time finding her Easter eggs yesterday morning. The Easter bunny brought her an awesome soccer outfit (thank you Wal-mart) and she refused to take it off most of the day. She actually wore the shorts under her pretty dress. Alison was her usual happy self and enjoyed seeing the family, too!
