Brennan started soccer on Monday. He's been waiting and waiting and waiting - and practicing and practicing and practicing. And finally, this hot hot hot week {yesterday we hit 102 -- and we live in Minnesota where at other times it gets to be negative 42} soccer began.
And he was happy.
And I saw my little boy, my first born son, grow up. Just a bit.

And I am so proud.
Being a mother is all about these moments, these days of seeing our little ones grow up. It's so hard to not fight it -- to wish to keep them little -- and yet, those moments of childhood are so fleeting. It's such a mixture of sweetness and bitter-sweetness and remembering and encouraging and living in the moment.
Oh yeah, and I am looking into soccer scholarships now for that boy. hee hee hee. That's the pride of a momma's heart. :)

I forgot that Hannah started this again. I'll have to join next week. He looks so big boyish! How handsome! And I thought it was only supposed to get that hot in SC?! It seems like just a few weeks ago you were wondering when spring would arrive! Ha! Enjoy the warmth!
He looks so cute...all boy and very happy about it :)
Adorable! Just look at that expression on his face :-)
My Sprout starts baseball soon and I think I'm more excited than he is!
And can you believe this weather! Yesterday, what, 102 or so?!? Crazy for this early in the summer.
Aww. My "little" boy turned 22 in February. I find myself wondering where oh where the time went, ALL the time!!! Fleeting, isn't it! Enjoy every moment!
yeah for your little soccer boy! I look forward to the days of my kiddos playing sports but, yes, it does mean t hey are getting bigger and that is a fact that I am daily chewing on;0. Soaking it up just like you!! He is such a cutie pie!
he looks ready to play! i played soccer for about ten years, plus a couple intramural seasons in college, and i loved and still love the sport. {in fact, my brother, dad, and grandfather went to watch the us play canada in detroit yesterday... i was SO jealous.} i love that brennan loves playing soccer!
Wow, it's not even 102 in Florida yet. Golly wolly.
What a great picture and what a great time :] Love soccer.
He looks so cute and so grown up! I wish my oldest would play (I played in college). The last time I asked her she said "no thanks, I'd get too sweaty!" WHAT? LOL
102? Wow! And Brennan looks good in his soccer gear! My little one loves soccer, too, and will be starting soon!
Hope you get a little reprieve from the weather today!
Happy Wednesday! :)
As soon as I saw the title to this post I started singing, "oh where is my hairbrush, oh where is my hair brush, oh where oh where oh where..." lol :)

So precious! I understand completely. Actually life goes by way too quickly. Not just childhood.
Bless you!

Sorry it's so hot there! Hope it cools off! Watching and playing soccer in the heat....doesn't sound like fun.
Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
Isaiah 25:8-9 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
