Matthew's Soccer Game

Last Monday, we headed downtown to Moody Bible Institute, where my brother Matthew's soccer team was playing. It was our first "fallish" activity; boy was the weather chilly! I really like this weather (could've handle more sunshine though), especially the cute clothes I have for the boys. :)

This was the second game of Matthew's that the boys and I have gotten to watch this season. Even though his team didn't win, he played great; and it was fun to see him. (I miss all my family so much!) I was glad for the chance to come out and cheer him on and send him home with some cookies and his favorite candy. :)



Luke was goofing off, not looking at the camera; and apparently, Simon was digging for gold.


We got there really early so we could talk to Matthew and just "hang out" on the field. This is how an almost-2 and 5 year old "hang out."


I thought Simon was absolutely DARLING :) in his fall duds.


The boys with Uncle Matthew. If you zoom in, you can see that Simon has a pretty mischievous smile on his little face.


Simon's ball-handling skills were actually kind of impressive for a little guy.


A typical sight; Simon actually LIKES falling, and does it on purpose - he kinda just dives or collapses. It's pretty funny to watch; I'm always just hoping it's on a soft surface!


Lots of good ol', healthy grass stains were acquired that day - just what Simon needed. (Seriously, living in a condo, I always wish they could play outside more.)


Matthew's cheering section (minus the loudest member of it). :)


Chicago's a cool place to have a soccer game!

What a wonderful looking outing! I bet the boys were super pumped about seeing their uncle in a soccer game. How fun! Simon is a DOLL. Sounds like he's quite the character too.

You are such a good sister, Marco enjoyed your cookies too. Can't wait to see you. Praying for Simon.
