Middle, aka Heart Patient, (sorry, unlike yesterday that link actually works today) is like an oreo. Tough on the outside, soft and mushy on the inside.

And she loves her some basketball. This is where she goes to think. To ponder. To plan her life strategy.

The front of the shirt sort of spells that strategy out for us.

It says HOW BAD DO I WANT TO WIN? The back gives us our answer, which pretty much corresponds with her philosophy in life.

You go girl. (P.S. We do have to talk about those sweats though. PULL ‘EM UP!)

Gail, she has been through a lot, but she’s quite the trooper.
Nancy, the pics are from last month, and yeah we still had that much snow in mid April. It was a CWAZY winter.
But it’s all gone now and the grass beneath is GREEN!! God bless spring.

Don’t get me started on the sagging sweats. At least she’s wearing shorts beneath …

WHAT.AN.AMAZING.YOUNG LADY! Such an inspiration. I suspect we will be hearing a lot of her winning in the future.

She told me it was the worst pain she has ever felt when she had her incident the other day. I’m glad to see she’s feeling better. Give her a big hug from me:)

I hope all of the medical problems clear up soon!
I also think Middle likes to keep her mom on her toes.

I’m surprised she let you live long enough to post this after she realized you took a pic of her pants falling off.

How great to see middle doing what she loves. Hope she is feeling better. She is a real trooper. Yeah she is the one to keep you on your toes.

Oh we have that drooping sweats thing going on here. They all wear pajama/boxers under them. I am soooo glad she is okay. Happy Sunday!

For the life of me I can’t understand why it is popular for kids to let their underwear show. In fact, I thought that that was why they invented thongs — so that underwear wouldn’t be obvious.
