As I promised...

and because Shawn is begging me to put these pictures up. He left again today on, yet again, another road trip, and he really really really wants me to post Rae in action! Just look for the red, white, and blue blondie with pink shoes...THATS OUR LITTLE RAE...sportin' her soccer skills in her 'new' soccer gear. Yes, some may think, oh she looks like a little boy, but in my mind, part of the fun in starting something new is being able to pick out your own gear...and yes, we did find it all in the boys section only because there was NOTHING in the girls section. Like little girls only dance and sing...well not mine:) She is a stud, really! I got all choked up (weird, I know) watching her today. I can't really explain why, I guess it was just the sheer joy of being a mom...this is what its all about. Having your little girl grow up and want to be just like her mommy...atleast for now...and see that big beautiful smile smeared across her face because she knows its all about her. Mommy is there to see her, run around with her, pay all attention to her. And as I tear up now I feel pathetic, but after having Evan, that is one thing I always stuggled with. What's going to happen to my little Rae who is so used to sucking up all of me to being forced to take second place (which, might I add, was quite a struggle, but she's pulled through like all of the #1's out there). Anyway, this is good for both of us and I just have to say...I love my little Rae more than I can bear. She holds a real special place in my heart for many reasons aside from being sooo special herself. I love you sporto:)
