Annika is BAAAACK

 My girl is back.  The one who is funny and silly and giggly and witty.  The one who has a twinkle in her eyes and a spring in her step.  The one who is kind.  The one who comes up with creative crazy things to do.  Not sure exactly why.  Probably is a lot of different things adding up.  I'm just glad she's back. 
First photo is her with the robot she made on top of her remote control car.  All by herself. 
 And this may be a huge piece of the puzzle.  Baseball season.  With the boys, and she is keeping up.  And they ACCEPT her no questions asked.  She is a girl, but they tease her and high five her and throw to her just like they should...as a part of the team.  She is pitching and catching.  She's made it on base a few times.  She has caught a few hits and helped make a few outs. It is a very good thing.

 Daddy umped an inning.  Called strikes on her.  Mommy was not impressed.  :)
 Pitching.
At third base.  She made it home, but there was argument over whether it was an overthrow and our coach gave in and back she went.  Too bad...that would have been the winning run instead of a tie.

I love her coach.  You can tell he cares that they learn and have fun.  The two things I wanted most as well.  And she is--she is improving and she loves to go and smiles the whole time.  We couldn't have been luckier.  So far they are 1 win, 1 tie, 2 losses.  I'll keep you posted.  :)
