Elliot's principal is moving to China with her husband, so that had a special "going-away" assembly on Friday. A couple of kids from each class were selected to say a few words about Mrs. Lipsitt. Elliot was one of the kids chosen. He was definitely a bit nervous, but Lisa whispered a promised reward of ice cream in his ear...and he made it through it. Here's some video:

Today's game ended in a tie, 3 to 3. The Kickin' Chickens were down by two goals, stormed back to take the lead, but then gave up the equalizer near the end. Elliot seemed a little more timid this week...not going after the ball as aggressively. He definitely prefers to play defense and try to prevent goals than to try to score them (thought he tries that some too). Here are a few more photos:

Saturday was Elliot's first soccer game. It was rainy/misty and about 55 deg F, so not the best of conditions. His team is the Kickin' Chickens. They don't keep score, so we don't know that Elliot's team lost 4 to 3. He did score his team's third goal which you can see in the video below (after the pictures). Elliot's goal is toward the end of the video. His reaction after scoring is priceless...joy and excitement.

The last weekend of June, while Jonathan and Lisa were in New York City, the boys stayed with Grandma and Grandpa B in Troy. We're not sure if they even missed us. Activities included: a picnic at Mercy Bellbrook where Allison works, putt-putt, swimming, and (allegedly) ice cream after every meal.
