Maggie & Stella's first soccer practice

Maggie and Stella are always interested when Will is dribbling a soccer ball around and they've tried imitating soccer moves when watching Will's soccer practices.  Plus, many of their classmates were joining a particular team so we signed them up as well and began what will hopefully result in years of joy for Patti (Patrick has a feeling that the girls in soccer for her is what Will's interest in Star Wars is to him).  Hopefully next season practice won't be on Saturday morning so Patti can sleep before practice.

Maggie is the eager-beaver, trying hard to please or mimic so she followed every direction and was glued to the coach (as you'll see in every picture below).  Stella is her own bird and while she did more than we could have imagined, she had her moments when she just refused to comply.  Just Stella being Stella.  But it was a COLD windy day and neither complained, they loved their soccer skirts, shin-guards and team shirts.
