Tonight was Claudia’s soccer game, she was playing goal in the first half. She had a shut out as her team jumped to a 3-0 lead.

They won the game 3-0, they are now 4-1-1. Here is the one of the coaches running them through some drills.
We headed over to the school Sunday night to give Claudia some practice in goal. This week she has to play net for one half of her game.

One of the trees out back of the school. It looks like a pretty symmetrical tree, the goal will be to come back in each season and take a picture.

Chloe turned 2 years old on Sunday. Hard to believe two years have gone by.
Claudia won her soccer game tonight 1-0 versus the team they lost to the first week. Her team is now 3-1-1. This year she moved to the bigger field, they are still learning not to bunch up. Her goalie made a great save on a penalty kick that was straight on after a hand ball in the crease. In the second half the tables were turned and Claudia’s teammate made no mistake on a nice high shot to the top corner. No pictures this week, will try and get some for next game.
Claudia had her quarter final soccer game on Tuesday night, her team went 0-12 during the season. This being house league, everyone makes the playoffs and how you do in the regular season doesn’t determine who you meet in the playoffs. Her team had a few close games where they were either tied or leading late in the game and somehow it went the other way. Claudia started the season on defence, but was moved to forward and lately has been playing both positions. This was her night, her team won 4-1 and SHE SCORED 2 GOALS! I had to get the play by play via e-mail, as Angela and I could only watch about 20 minutes before having to leave for Angela’s practice. I don’t have any pictures but here are some from her previous game where she came close on a couple of occasions.
Way to go Claudia! The team they beat was from the Tuesday night teams, they do a cross-over of nights. We think the other Tuesday night team won their quarter-final, so she plays them this Tuesday, probably better they play a team they haven’t seen before.
Soccer season started last night with Claudia’s first game. After some initial confusion with her uniform and coach-less team, things came together for her first game.
Here is Claudia in some action shots.
Claudia is playing in the U10 age group, as you can see she is on the smaller size, but she wasn’t afraid of the ball.
This is Claudia’s first time playing organized soccer. She enjoyed it and played well.
Claudia was one of two kids in her class who were chosen to go on to the gym for the speech competition. Her speech was on the World’s Fastest Things. She has some time to practice and memorize her speech.
Claudia and Chloe fell asleep watching tv tonight.
Happy Birthday to Claudia! She turned nine today.
Sisters!
It was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.
Claudia out in the snow again.
