Nationals. Seattle. 2026.

This was the first time we have had the opportunity to go to Nationals with a soccer team. Well, any team for that matter. To be one of the top 8 teams in the nation was pretty exciting! Kit and Eden made an adventure out of it. So there was time for soccer practices and team bonding around the actual game schedule:

Soccer games:
They made it to the Semifinals!
They made it to the finals!!!
They made it to the Finals and I am just SO proud of how these girls battled!
They came in second, losing 0-1. It was a battle and she was so proud to have played and kept a clean sheet for the tournament.

There was also time that Kit made to make memories with Eden:

Because they made it to the Finals, they got to be part of the media day:
I’m so excited that she had the experience, that she had time with her dad and that they got to have memories that they will always hold close. All that said, I was SO happy to have them home!

Walking down memory lane with Ryder…

 While Eden and Kit were gone, Ryder and I decided to tackle the long awaited project of going through all of his clothes, bookshelf, keepsakes, bookshelf, and awards.

So many stories and memories were shared as well as SO much laughing! I love this kid!
