abe played in the kick for the cure soccer tournament yesterday. it is a great fund raiser for breast cancer. abe played his first night game, under the lights--so fun. in school they set some personal goals for the year and abe's was to get a goal in club soccer...and he did it! he played goalie half the game and forward half the game and even though his team lost, it felt like they won, he was so excited. i wish i had a video of him getting the goal and then running back and hugging his team. you would have thought they won the championship game. later he explained what was going through his head, how he noticed a pattern in the other team's moves and knew if he went a certain place that he would be able to block it. it all worked and he ended up with a goal in the last few minutes of the game. the teams in phoenix are amazing. abe's team has been working very hard and improving, so it was nice for abe to experience a little moment of magic.
we ended the night at my brother's house for a quick visit. it was fun to talk and laugh. we watched a video of his son, taylor, who's serving a mission. he is a wonderful example for our family--so neat for our kids to see him as a missionary in Uruguay.
