Fall Activities....

With the start of school also comes the start of soccer season for us. We have been signing the kids up every fall for a session of soccer. I thought for sure after the last few years they would want to pass on the sport but both Charles and Aniela wanted to give it another shot and they are doing great. Charles is really going after the ball this year and trying hard to score a goal. While with Aniela's age group we actually have some structure and a true soccer game to watch. She is much more aggressive out on the field and has really picked up her pace since last year. They are both improving and enjoying their times on the field and that's all that matters.

We also decided to continue swimming! Since the kids love it we just couldn't stop after the summer. So both Charles and Aniela joined a local swim team called PAWWS (Peoria Area Water Wizards). It's much more structured and intense than summer club swimming but the kids love it. Charles is in the beginner minnows class that meets twice a week. While Aniela is in the bronze group three times a week. I just love watching them swim. Aniela especially has taken an interest in swimming and can't get enough of it.

Poor Zofia just gets dragged around. The third child syndrome. She'll just take in everything her brother and sister do and become a natural...right?!!
