She's BACK!

Last April, Teylor was playing in a tournament on a bitter cold, windy and snowy day.  We all froze to death on the sidelines while those tough little cookies played soccer.  It was miserable. While she was running, she rolled her ankle and hurt her foot.  And it hurt for a long time...all through Spring Soccer and Summer Tournaments... but she didn't complain too much.  She just kept on playing. And I kept thinking it would heal...
 Until it hurt too much to run... or walk... or sleep. Yikes. I finally got her a Doctor's appointment (in SEPTEMBER!  Ya, mom of the year...) and found out she had a fracture in her foot.  Holy sad.  I felt terrible!!  Needless to say, we got her in a boot the day before Fall Soccer started and she was out of commission for 5 weeks.
 Today was her first day back and she was nervous.  These games can be brutal... the girls are aggressive, so I don't blame her for not wanting to play.
 All I had to do was tell her to play her best so I could take some cool shots of her.  And she did.  She was all over the ball when she saw the camera in my hand.  Ha!  Cute girl.  
 She did AWESOME!  They didn't score on her once while she was goalie... and her team was happy to have her incredible drop kick back on the field.  Way to go TEY BUG!!  I'm pretty sure she got all of her athletic ability from her mom... yep. ;)

This pic was at the start of the game when she was almost refusing to play.  The look says it all. Awe, sweet girl.

Yay Teylor! I'm so glad the foot has healed. She can really kick! Awesome.
