She made the team. Hooray for JV!
She says they have a great group of girls on the team!
I have been so stressed out about it.
Being a mom is so dang hard sometimes.
You know that part about our hearts walking around outside our bodies.
Truth.
Truth.
Big true truth!

I loved being a part of a team.
Katie does too...and so I want what she wants.
Way to go Katie Gracie Boucher!
I am proud of your hard work and your fantastic attitude!

Play ball!
Love Mom
WAY TO GO, Katie! I know exactly what you mean about your heart. I feel that way all the time. Sending love.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Katie!!! And to her biggest cheerleader!! (Do you still have the uniform?) Wishing your girl a fun season full of new friends, good times and good sport.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love that Willie Stargell quote. <3
We passed the uniforms on.

Oh man. Everything about this is just right and well said. Baseball and heartbreaks, you love one and dread the other, even as a grandma. Go Katie!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betty Smith for that lovely quote. It is exactly how I am feeling today as I dropped my boy off for church Jr. High winter camp today. Ugggh. He is leaving the state without me, which is easier to handle than the fact that he is spending the weekend with other middle schoolers. Ack!
