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.

Wow! Way to go Awesome Abbie! I really wish I could have seen that!

And way to be a rabid fan mom Sue!

I love those pictures, that one from the top with Jack is great, when was that taken?

And I'm going right now to get my OC register and cut out her photo....

Alll right Abbbbbs! We loved the game and look fwd to lots more!

Also loved those young photos--but your Mom forgot the ones climbing to the top of the bunk beds at about 7 months and the up beside the baby grand by way of a tot chair and play sink right next to the piano, when you were a toddler.

BOY! None of MY kids crawled or climbed like Abbie did!

xox, Gram Ann

That is awesome. Abbie, we can't wait to come see you play. I don't think I can promise non-embarrassing behavior, though...especially with Uncle Matt :) love you! and you look gorgeous in that picture with Jack! love, aunt carrie (signed in as Madi...)
