Here's a link to the shoes from Amazon. These are the same shoes I bought for her last year:
...
I believe she could use 3W this time around. They're $24.75. Since I'm an Amazon Prime member I get free two-day shipping, so unless you can find a better deal, I'll just get them before next Thursday.
I don't have a game schedule for her soccer, but her practice schedule will be _.
She wants to do Girl Scouts as well, so the current extra-curricular list is _. No Karate this year.. I think that's enough.
I'll be registering her at 10AM today.

Thanks for the link. I will order these as soon as I can... I have Amazon Prime so it's not a problem. I'll just have them shipped there.
As far as soccer practice-- I'm not going to take her every time she's here, so let me know as far as this month, which one is preferable for her to be at. As soon as you hear about games, let me know. . . I keep checking the _ website but it isn't there yet (way to go, guys!)--
Also, I'm supposed to have her Labor Day weekend as far as rotation, but we had her for Memorial Day. I was thinking regular Fri-Sun and she can be with you on that Monday if yall have something you're doing.

She needs to be there. You need to get her to practice when you have her: if you can't, I will keep her on Friday evenings and we can exchange her after practice.
Thank you for taking care of the shoes. I don't mind taking Labor Day.

I am putting 400 miles a week on my car as it is, and I don't recall there being a discussion between you and I before you signed her up for soccer. When the things she wants to do are going to be scheduled during my time with her, I need to be consulted beforehand. I think it is unfair to expect me to come get her on Friday, bring to _hometown_ for an hour on Saturdays when it takes an hour to get down there, then to bring her back home on Sunday.
I will compromise with you on it: one of the Saturdays before her games start, I will just come get her on Saturday and watch her practices-- I can even come pick her up in the morning before the practice, and she can stay later on Sundays. The other, I will meet you in _bfe_ and you can bring her back to me in _bfe_ afterwards. I do not want to cut my time with her in half, but you didn't consider that it is part of my weekend.
You are always telling me that you aren't trying to undermine my relationship with her, but this does that because it's cutting my time with her. My time is from Friday afternoon to Sunday.
I think this is a fair way to do it since I was not consulted about times which would directly impact her time with me.

I didn't *know* what times soccer practice would be, but this is something she really wants to do. I have parental control over extracurricular activities, and she has done soccer before. I invited your mom and she watched her practice last night... she was invited to tomorrow morning's practice as well.
Moving to BFE was your choice. I am not coming to _bfe_. If you think cutting out *her* time on soccer practice is going to foster a stronger relationship between you and her, you can do so... but she is going to understand fully that this is your decision, and you will have to deal with the consequences. This is a chance for you to assess what's more important to you: miles on your car or your daughter. I have given you what I consider to be a good option, if you absolutely cannot make the drive.
Your daughter lives in _hometown_, she goes to school in _hometown_, and her activities are going to be in _hometown_.
I just wrote over $1k in checks today to get her all registered, and you have zero responsibility in that regard: the *least* you can do is support what she wants to do during your time with her. The ball is in your court.
