We have a new member in our family. Her name is Dottie. She is not a dog or cat (eww). Or even a fish or bird. She is a soccer ball. JD had a gift card to the soccer store and instead of another new shirt or shorts for him, we decided to get some gear for our sweet girl!
She knows the two ways to kick the ball and has pretty good aim! We are super excited that she will be playing this spring! And JD will be coaching again. It will be interesting to hear how this experience is different from the JV guys!
Dottie has definitely become LilE's friend. She pulls her out of the box and treats her like one of her stuffed animals. My favorite soccer moment thus far was when I heard her say, "Dottie, I love you!" while holding and hugging her. Sweet!

So stinkin' cute! Dottie...I love it!
That will be so special to have Daddy coaching her! LilE is so lucky!!! I remember my dad coached softball for me for years and I am so glad he did! It was "our thing" that we did growing up:)
That is so cute. I never played soccer even though everyone else in my family did. I hope she loves it!
love it! John is the perfect coach
I loved Tom Hanks' "Wilson" in Castaways.....Dottie will also be special!!
Sounds like John will never be finished with soccer. It played such an important part in his life, especially at a young age. Hope Emma loves playing. I loved spending hours on the benches whatching soccer.
