Mam

I ran across this photograph of Mam the other day...
Gosh, I miss that teeny little girl. It's hard for me to fathom that this is the same little girl who sang at the spring concert at school last week...my nine-year-old. Could that really be her?
Well, the dimple matches.

She's such a funny girl. There she is, all smiles in her cute pink dress with swirls on it. She's very proud to be up on stage and thrilled that her family is there to watch her. And then there's this:
This is the little girl who went from being a Red Unicorn, to being a Pink Butterfly, to being a Fuchsia Firework. She's now a Neon Green Viper...obviously.

She's every bit of that and more. She loves her dresses, but it doesn't make her less of a fierce competitor. And last weekend was the Vipers' first game. She was ready to show them her stuff too.
She's a little rusty on the pitching, but she'll get there.
She's ready. She's paying attention. She's got the batting stance...
She threw a couple of strikes, got two good hits and scored a run. And then there's this:
She may be a fierce competitor, but she's really just a goofy girl at heart.
