Battle Scars

At her soccer game today, Erin once again got to play all of her favorite positions. She was midfield in the first quarter, out the second, and returned after halftime as right forward. A few minutes into the quarter, she rushed at the ball as an opposing player gave it a good, hard kick. It hit Erin square in the temple, also hitting the arm of her glasses, which pushed them up. The nose piece wound up scraping her eyelid right above her left eye. Ouch! I guess we're lucky, as it could definitely have been worse, but it hurt quite a bit, especially at first. She came off the field, put some ice on it, but a few minutes later, let her coaches know she was ready to go back in. If nothing else, it gave me an excuse to take a picture of her beautiful eyes!
