Rae has tried out for many things.....volleyball, basketball, soccer, Topperettes, and sadly.....she didn't make any of the teams!! But that girl was never too sad about it!! She always would say, "well, at least I tried"!! And we started joking the she was our Little "Sue Heck"!!! Sue Heck is a girl in a sitcom who tries out for EVERYTHING and makes nothing except by default, like making the volleyball team cause she falls through the gym floor!! We don't tease Rae to be mean and she takes it in good fun!! So when she came to her dad and I and told us she was trying out for the softball team we said, "go for it"!! And then we prayed like crazy that she would get just one chance to be part of a team!! Well she practiced with some of the girls from last year, and she tried out and low and behold.....
RAE MADE THE JV GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM!!!! THE SUE HECK CURSE WAS BROKEN!!!!
We were so excited!! And too be honest a little shocked!! Especially when she said she was pitching!!! What?? I had explained to Hannah prior to trying out that when you don't play these things when you're younger {she played in the summers until she was about 10 then it got "boring" and she quit} and learn the game and stuff it's sometimes harder to make teams!! And here she was pitching??!!
So we bought the cleats and socks and sports bra and headbands {she had a mit} and she headed off to her first game....
#1
We weren't able to go but she played 1st base and got 2 outs!! And here's a few pictures from her last few games....
