The Black Widows are officially a team with some pretty hot shirts. The kids had their second practice today after school. Ella loves being on the team. She’s actually pretty good. Ella does a great job following directions and she is a good dribbler and shooter during drills. The problem is, once they do practice games, Ella hangs back and cheers people on. She’s so sweet and so enthusiastic, but she rarely gets in the mix. Maybe it’s a good thing because it’s usually a bunch of kids just kicking whatever they can kick. Their first game is Saturday – I can’t wait to see what happens.
Ella getting her morning hug from Brickelle. Brickelle is in Kindergarten this year so the girls are in separate buildings. Lately, Ella has been asking to see Brickelle before school starts. When we arrive at school, we look for Brickelle on the structure or on the yard and then Ella and Brickelle hug and go on with their day. We couldn’t find Brickelle the other morning and Ella was pretty upset. Ms. Alicia helped Ella find Brickelle later on during the day. It’s really beautiful the way the girls love each other.

Thinking…
Water break.
Pretty sweet…Ella is on the end all the way to the left.
Learning the “throw in” move.
Ella is very smart to hang back and not get kicked. She can be a cheerleader and coach as far as I’m concerned. She looks adorable in her outfit. And I love the way she and Brcikelle hug every morning. You’ve got a wonderful daughter. Love you. Mom
