Fussball, Anyone???

With the World Cup going on, we've been watching alot of soccer around here lately. In fact, Scooty Bug comes from a long line of soccer players. His Great-Great Grandpa, Eberhard Graffmann, was even part of the German Olympic Soccer Team!!! Pretty cool, huh?

All three of my kiddos played soccer from the time they were toddlers. Bailey was definitely in it for the uniforms and the social aspect of the game. Brenner, however, was a really good player and stuck with it for many, many years. And, Braydon, always has been and still is a SOCCER BEAST!!! That boy is afraid of nothing, I tell you, and would sacrifice his body game after game after game to secure a win. Braydon not only still plays soccer on a men's league, but rarely misses a televised game. We've been thinking about him an awful lot during the World Cup since he is counseling at a Christian camp in Arkansas right now and has NO access to TV!!!

Here's my sweet Scooty Bug paying tribute to his Great-Great Grandpa's soccer team!

And here he is posing with the amazing wooden soccer ball that my Dad made many years ago and gave to my children. It is a prized possession around this house, for sure. Who knows.....maybe Weston will turn out to be a soccer player someday too. Whatever he decides to do, this Granny will be his biggest fan, no doubt!
