this spring maria participated in soccer for the first time. it was a great experience and she really enjoyed it. maria tends to be hesitant with new things and her first game went like this:
that was how she looked the whole game. if the ball came near her she would back up. it was kind of funny to watch. but she progressed quickly. by the next game she actually ran around and by her third game she actually tried to kick the ball. 
maria is right in the middle of the picture.
maria is the girl on the left (in the front).
by her last couple games maria made some good assists and even tried to score a goal a couple times. ethan and i were really pleased with how much she progressed and we're happy maria had a great time. she's already looking forward to next year.
a couple weeks ago maria and hudson participated in a mile run in wellsville for their "pony express days". maria ran the race last year and got third place.
here the kids are lined up at the start. hudson is 5th from the right (with his hoodie on) and maria is next to him. i had to laugh when the guy said "go" because it seemed like every kid went except maria and hudson.
here's hudson at the end of the race.
maria racing toward the finish line.
maria won second place this year! here she is holding up her ribbons from this year and last year.
