Maddie was a superstar at her soccer game today! We don't keep score, but we blew the other team away. She scored two goals on her own, but her team scored like 20 thanks to her (but who's counting)! She was awesome. Those little legs never stopped running. We're so proud of her and how she just keeps on going and keeps on trying. She is the funniest and smartest 5 year old we have ever seen. She's so smart its hard for us to remember sometimes that she is only five. We have been doing a study from "Grace Based Parenting" and as I'm typing this I am reminded about a session that warned parents about giving their children empty praise. His example was not to tell your child they are the best slider in the whole world....when anyone can slide down a slide. Hmmm, but isn't she the best slider in the world? Really though, I'm not throwing out empty praise. All of what I said is true. She truly is the smartest and funniest 5 year old I've ever seen and she really was a soccer superstar today. And most of all, she has a sweet heart and loves Jesus. We love her.

Stacie is right! It was a great game and Maddie never slowed down!
I love her SO much. When Maddie and I are together, we laugh all the time. She is really one of my very best friends.
