I could not let the season end without a couple of observations about my boys on the soccer field. R, my ubercomptitive sports-loving son loves to be in the middle of the action on the field. 
Do you see the other child clad in a white jersey in the photo above? That's P. He prefers to avoid the action. He likes to comraderie of sports, but not the confrontation or the energy required. 
Every now and then, in a burst of sudden enthusiasm, he'll get in the mix (even scoring a goal or two here and there).
Then he returns to interpretive dancing, picking grass, playing in the goal or staring up at the clouds. (I wish I had taken this picture from farther away. The game was still going strong a few yards from where he decided to rest.)
I love these two little guys.
They are wired absolutely, completely differently...precious gifts to the world in their own ways.
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for them both.

I love the profile shot of the two of them!
they are precious
In that last picture you can really tell the difference in them as they are growing up. I love little boys... of course, I am a little biased, lol... and sometimes I wish I had a little princess too, but those are rare moments that quickly fade when I realize that I have a hard enough time with just the 2 boys :)
When I read this post, I was thinking how alike your P is to my S who is now 14. He too would usually be looking off into space during a concert or sports event, but at his first concert in choir as an 8th grader, he was at attention the whole time, sang wonderfully, and was such a joy. I was so proud of him, and thankful that I gave him the chance to continue even when it sometimes seemed like he wasn't "there" in the activity.
