I so wish I could get s decent picture of K playing tennis - but that whole through the fence thing is hard, and since it is just practice right now...I am *not allowed* at the fence to take pictures. "Mo-om......I will look like a dork." Picked her up early this morning, cause of a storm....she was nervous this morning. See - "real" tryouts start today. She found out that there are 9 girls trying out for 3 spots....but she gets in the car all flush and happy when I picked her up - "Mom, I was talking to Serena, who is a Jr. - and she said I am really good for a freshman and I won't have any problem making the team, and I found out if I don't make singles we'll most likely make doubles"
I have tears in my eyes. if any of the four of you that read this are praying folks. Please pray for this. She wants it so bad. With her struggles in school, she is so used to trying and not getting the reward. I SO want this for her. She wants it more than I have ever seen her want something. she has made so much progress in the last six months, I want this reward for her. The boost to her self-esteem will be awesome I am sure. She has talked to and made friends with more new girls in the last few weeks than she has in years at school.
Double practice tomorrow, and I promised her is the weather is good when I get home later, we'll go hit some balls....more on that later!

from one *old* school dork here-who knows what she feels...i hope she makes that team.
I'll be praying she makes the team, as well...though please tell her that if she doesn't make it this time, there is always next time....and she's still accomplished a huge thing by putting herself out there!
Keep up the great work Mom and K! I can't wait to see the post when she makes the team!
