The sun was shining brightly. The grass is green. I took Tony, Jimmy, Sadie and Ricardo up to the Cities for a soccer game. Everyone behaved appropriately (even Tony was better than usual) and the team played very well even though he lost. Ricardo is one tough player and we overheard several parents talking about his skill. Considering this is only his second season of competitive soccer (we had no team in our previous community) and only his 4th year playing on any formal team (he arrived from a Guatemalan orphanage 4 years ago) he does remarkably well.
So we spent six hours together and it was all good. And it felt great.
I took 89 pictures. The only way to get a good shot of him is to put the camera on continuous and follow him around the field. You can tell by these shots though that he is a determined, competitive player....
And I’m a proud mom.
