Soccer Girl

Elodie started soccer this weekend!  She was excited about it, but also quite nervous.  Her nerves got the best of her during the soccer class, but she finally got brave enough near the end to try a few techniques.  We think she'll warm up to it soon and really enjoy it!  Of course, she enjoys her new socks and shin guards and "pork buns" hair do! 
Getting ready to go:

Then we found this rowdy kid on the sidelines:

Guilford Fair & Parade

Guilford is 375 years old!  This year's parade theme was happy birthday. We loved it. It was also interesting to compare to our experience last year... the kids are bigger and now we know quite a few people from town! Check out last year at the parade!


Here are some highlights from our day:
