Today also marked her volleyball debut.
(today's POTD)
She told me this morning that she was nervous; she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get the ball over the net. Well, she managed to score 3 points today (I think that was out of 5 serves) and even attempted to return the ball once. Not a bad showing for her first time out.
And Ray didn't fair too badly playing the role as line judge (we are scheduled to volunteer every so often--something that doesn't make me altogether happy)
It's almost tear-jerking to watch her out there...I can so see myself in her...her insecurities, her shyness, her gangliness...I just want her to feel good about herself, to be sure of herself, but I guess she has to figure that out for herself just like I did (although, I think I'm still trying to figure it out!).
It was fun watching her play tonight; it is fun watching her grow up, becoming a part of something (she's #29).
She makes me proud every day.

If the roads weren't bad, I would of been there. Send me her schedule please, I got the one you e-mailed me for Emily.
So much we want for our sweet babies! She is happy- and I have remarked, to myself that is, that both of your girls have a very confident and sure way about them. Like they have their thing and they're good- they don't really need it from others.
Ahh, that is so sweet...
