It's Official: I'm a Soccer Mom

So far (from my very limited experience) I've learned that being a soccer mom means doing whatever it takes to see your kid doing stuff like this:

Here she is about to score her very first goal:

Snuggles with Yaya on the sidelines :)

I was shocked by what an incredible thrill it was for me to see my girl out there.  She just takes my breath away!

We sure had fun sharing this fun new "first" with Yaya and Papa :)  

I wonder - does this happen for every parent?  When I see my kids at an event like this it's as if it's just so OBVIOUS that they're special - THE most special, in fact.  I'm pretty sure there was some sort of heavenly spotlight shining on Clara this day...how could everyone not notice? ;)
