Tennis Anyone?

This is by far my most favorite sport to watch Emmie play. Perhaps it is because I played it in high school too, or maybe it is because Emmie is totally in her element when playing it. This year the team is very weak, but Emmie is focusing on her own game. Being in 10th grade and playing 3rd singles on Varsity is quite an accomplishment as it is. She basically walked on the Varsity team as a freshmen last year because she was that good. The coach likes her and already told her he is grooming her for her last two years as a junior and senior. Of course having the cutest spectator there to watch you helps too! ;) We are very proud of her and no matter what her final game scores are, we love watching her play, love her determination with every shot, love her passion to strive to do better each game and love how she never gives up.
Rock that court girl.....it's going to be a fun season!

The "spectator" has a beautiful set of jewelry on! And, her shades complete the ensemble!


These shots of Emmie truly show her determination and spark for her game. You must be one proud momma!

You really captured these moments so well Steffie, I can tell you are one proud mom and rightly so. And Sophia is adorable in her 'spectator wear.' Love her shades. ;)

What fun! My sons played high school tennis and I loved watching them play -- made me nervous sometimes, but it was a blast! Enjoy! Your spectator is pretty darn cute too!

Wow, I love these photos of Emmie. She is such a beautiful girl! I wish I had her muscle tone! What a huge accomplishment for her to be able to walk on the varsity team. I hope she has a wonderful season.
How have you been? I need to call you one day. Hopefully one day this year I can post a referral. Sigh!
Love you lots,
Adele
