Apron

For our ninth anniversary, I made this apron for Audrey using leftover wedding material.  She wore it for a long time.

Yesterday, Megan got to wear it for the first time. Andrea told me that she remembered when Audrey wore it, but she can’t remember the matching one she wore.  I will have to look for pictures 🙂

Sibling Rivalry

On Saturday, we had a soccer game. The opposing team only had three girls when it was time to start the game. Since I had 6 girls, I asked the other coach if she wanted to borrow someone.  Andrea and Audrey both volunteered right away.

After telling Audrey that she defected from our team, the girls loved being able to play against each other.  It was neat to see how they interacted differently.  They were still very protective of each other. When they crashed during the game, they made sure each was okay before getting up.  But their competitiveness showed up strong.  Both wanted that ball!

Audrey playing for the other team caused a few laughs too. I would call out to the girls, “Remember what Coach McGuire (Allan) taught you”, and Audrey would move to the perfect blocking position.  Once I told her to “forget everything Daddy taught the team”.

While I am glad that they had the chance to compete against each other, I am really glad that the girls get to play on the same team.  This year, they are learning each others abilities better.  Andrea is better at making goals, while Audrey is better at defending.  Most importantly, they both have fun while playing their best.
