The Wood Family in California: It's official. School is back in! AND Soccer has STARTED!

On Thursday night it's a community event... the school list is posted after 5p. All the parents and kids RUSH over to the school to see what teacher they have and who's in their class.. Lucky for me. I didn't have to RUSH. WE had TKD, then I came home, made dinner. Ate dinner.. ... Then headed over. It was SO less crowded and Austin was just as excited and had a lot more energy to check out his new classroom. He got a good teacher.. so I've heard. He's got some friends in class that he was pretty excited about. We checked out his classroom from the glass tinted window and he left that night feeling pretty stoked for the next day!

So It's Friday and Austin is on a roll. He was calm, cool and collective more so than I've ever seen him.. He's officially a 2nd graded and ready to Rock this YEAR!! (Fingers crossed for a fantastic year ahead for him).

Austin and His buddies ... they all found eachother once we arrived at school.

Saturday is the start of AYSOccer for both KAIN (1st year) and Austin U8 League in Manhattan Beach. Austin was drafted on Coach Al's team and was in the 3rd seed. He was originally chosen to another coach, but somehow Coach Al stole him back. This will be our 3rd year with Coach AL.
Kain is playing in Redondo Beach and his Coach Danny has no experience whatsoever! But... Kain is pretty confident with us yelling on the sidelines what to do. :)

Mela is enjoying watching them. Today was Kain's 1st game. He scored 4 goals and his team won 5-3. He was pretty excited and felt really good after the game. He was proud of himself. He really hustled and Austin was out there helping the coach. Afterall.... Kain is so good because he's been watching Austin play for so long... AND they play pretty hard in the front yard.
We took them to RUBY's on the Pier for Milkshakes afterwards then walked the pier in Redondo Beach!
