Zion and Jacoba are on the same soccer team this year. I am the coach. Our team name is Maple Dip. It should be a blast. This is Jacoba’s first year and Zion has played before so I think he will watch out for his sister this year. It will be fun to watch.

Go Maple Dip!

That sounds like so much fun!
You’ll be a great coach and Zion and Jacoba will be star team players!
Zekijah could be your little cheerleader
It’s a lot of fun to watch 4-6 year olds play soccer – they seem to travel in packs around the ball! LOL!!

Enjoy Mendelt!

I know Marisa will be cheering them on from above.

Go Maple Dip!

… just wanted to let you know I’m faithfully reading your blogs… which are both inspirational and saddening. I’m constantly praying for you. The picture is adorable — such beautiful children.

Mendelt,
You will love coaching your kids soccer, this is the fifth year that I have coached and I love it. You really get to see your kids interact and see the improvements throughout the course of the season. The kids really remember when you get involved. It makes them feel special, which they are. I am sure that you will make a great coach. Another hurdle, another stepping stone, one baby step at a time gets us through the days. Keep up the good work, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. If your kids ever need more practice the Huizinga field is always open and the boys would be more than happy to give your little guys some good advice.
Take care,
With love, Ken and Dana and the kids….

Super cute picture. I can’t wait to see their games. Zekijah and Epeus can cheer from your house and you would hear it at the game.

Such an adorable picture Mendelt! I always enjoy the kids who sit down and pick dandelions on the field when things get a little slow on defense. Or maybe that was just me! Your posts continue to warm my heart! Praying for you and your precious little family!
