Sarah Duncan, at the crossroads

Transitions can be challenging ...

Here's a very nice picture of our wife/mother/etc., Sharon Duncan

This almost seems to be symbolic, of something or other:

An old photograph of three young people

Welcome home, college kids!

Sarah, after seven superb semesters!

Spencer, fresh from his very successful debut:

A surprise participant in this year's traditional 8th ward Where's Waldo activity

A long lost Anderson cousin, maybe ...

It's beginning to look a lot...

If any of you have ever wondered, this is what a clean room looks like!

We're grateful to and for these nice kids, and this amazing experience.

Congratulations to Sarah for finishing so strong, just like she started.  2014 season: 17 starts, 20 appearances.

Matt, moving through the ranks.

Note mid-ground action:

An exchange!

Fact: Matt is a gentle, good-natured guy.

Let's see some punishment here.

Pow!

Oof!

On the other hand ...

May end up being the greatest face Matt ever makes

These two boards are about to have a seriously life altering experience.

Squeezing out every drop: our Sarah's last game as a starting defender on the Utah Utes NCAA Division I women's soccer team

Beautiful Prentup Field, home of the Colorado University (Boulder) Buffaloes

Last pre-game warmup:

"But they were happy, grateful, pleased with one another, and contented with the time..."  (Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol)

The last time they do this choreographical thing:

Team!

Accidental cool photographic effect

This is kind of like that part in The Magnificent Seven.

What on earth are they doing over there?  Better not ask!

Loved it every time she did this ...

Action shots:

Here is Sarah's great soccer career, and her great life too, all summed up in these few indelible images:

Point, Sarah

More cool action shots:

Opportunity can be untidy!

She'll miss throwing the ball in, probably.

With about twenty minutes left in the game Sarah thought they were taking her out, so she started to run off the field.  I (Dad) thought they were taking her out too.  Well, I (Dad) thought.  It's over.  And it's all right, I (Dad) thought.  

Or, gulp.

I (Dad) took this photograph, and 18 more besides ...

... As it turned out, they weren't taking Sarah out after all.  More action!  Practically for the last time!

En fin, fitba!

Alas, again.
