Garrett 9y 5mo

Garrett has really enjoyed his soccer team this season.  He has been playing left defensive back to take advantage of his coverage skills and his left foot.  He has become more skilled at staying between his man and the goal and limiting shots on goal.  He also is better at passing the ball up the field to his open forwards.  He got to play forward toward the end of one of the games this year and ended up with the opportunity to take a penalty shot (his first one ever).  He impressively kicked the ball hard and straight on goal with some decent height.  Surprisingly it cleared both the goalie and the goal bar-probably the furthest he has ever kicked a ball.  A little adrenaline can go a long way.  At the end of the regular season, Garrett's team stood in first place at 6-1-1.

I think I might be stuck in between all of these pumpkins.

Grammy and Poppy came to enjoy one of Garrett's night games.

Celebrating after a soccer Saturday with Wing Stop and some pretend glasses and beards.
