Good luck braids, worn every soccer game!

It's official, the girls are 6th and 8th graders.... they finished up the school year Friday, with sunshine and a pool party for Kennedy's 7th grade class! As soon as school was out at noon, Kyndsi and I headed to Portland for soccer games all weekend. Kyndsi's team took 3rd place, and played so well, she's really enjoying this season with her new coach, and having the opportunity to play midfield. Its been really fun seeing her in the new position, and watching her take leadership on the field. Kennedy's team played in the gold division this weekend, they had a few rough losses but ended on a positive win. Her last game, she played great left defensive position, and really closed space, and challenged well. As soon as all of the games were over, Kennedy went to the Portland Timbers game with a few of her friends and Nolan for fathers day. Kyndsi and I headed back to Eugene and she is at sail school this week with her friend Julia, learning how to sail! What an amazing start to our summer, and although we had a few bumps in our road last week, feeling much gratitude for the good things in life!

Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
