She shoots . . .

 . . . SHE SCORES!! 



Abbie had her first lacrosse game (actually scrimmage) 
for MVHS against Trabuco Hills yesterday.

She's #8 and her preferred position is Attack Wing.


(abbie=right side of pic in red as the game starts)


Her personal fan club
(i.e., mom, dad, porter, grandma & grandpa) 
went C.R.A.Z.Y
when she scored the first goal of the JV game!  


Which is saying A LOT because, 
not only was I on my best non-embarrassing behavior, 
but we were sitting on the opposing team's side of the stadium -

 (sorry, but it was stinkin' 90 degrees
and the sun was blazing over on the home team side;
we simply had to move to the shade)

(abbie=2nd from left, #8 in red)

Anyhoo . . . Go, Abbie!!
We couldn't be prouder!

Off to the Rose Bowl for next weekend's tournament!


She made the OCRegister too (4th pic, 2nd from R) . . . 
but unfortunately 
the article is about how lacrosse is slated to be canned
due to district budget cuts.

Our country's priorities are askew.  
Who really thinks we can save ourselves 
by cutting programs in schools?
 So disheartening.
