Last week, the Buttercups, the soccer team Abby plays on, closed in on an undefeated season. This week, they sealed the deal with a 4-2 victory over the team they played to a 3-3 tie at the beginning of the season. The girls have really done a great job of playing together. And I must admit that I enjoy watching nearly every girl on the team run up and down the field with smiles on their faces.
But I want to single out Abby here for a sec. Last week, she scored the first goal in her organized soccer career and it was pure joy watching her do it. Well, it was pure joy seeing her reaction. My heart swelled with joy and pride when she did it.
We write a lot about Camille because, well, she’s just so darn funny. Abby does what she needs to do with a smile and with conviction. She’s quieter — except when she and Camille are arguing — than her sister and more shy. But she has a huge heart.
The team will play in the Wrangler tournament in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to it.
