What A Week And It's Only Wednesday

We had an exciting to start to the week. First Emma and Papa Bob got to meet gold medal winner Scott Touzinsky. She had her picture taken with him and was able to hold the gold medal. They weren't expecting to meet him so the only camera they had to take the pic was with a camera phone but it was still really cool!

Then on Monday, the girls started soccer at SMMA, it's the first time they have played a team sport so they were excited. Since the kids ages range from three to five, they are on the same team. It's so cute, there are about six different teams and every Monday they practice for the first half hour and then play against one of the other teams the second half hour. Emma scored two goals and Ally stopped one goal from going in.

We had our own cheering section, Kate, Evan, Maddy, Mike, my mom and dad, Christine, Carol, Dave and I were all there to watch and cheer on the girls. The class that Papa Bob teaches at Wash. U is on Monday night's so he wasn't able to make it and he wasn't happy about missing it but I have a feeling he might make one this year.

Below is the pic of Emma and the gold medal and some from soccer!

Emma's 5th Birthday Bash

On Saturday we had Emma's 5th Birthday party at the house. She was so excited to have everyone over....she had been waiting for this day all month. It ended up being a really nice night and not the typical 100 degree summer evening we have been used to. We rented a bounce house for all the kids and it was a hit, it kept them busy all night long and the girls were completely exhausted by the end of the night.

Here are a few pics from the party:
