My Beautiful, Talented Niece

This post is actually for yesterday. Time got away from me and next thing I knew it was 3:00am. So I decided that I'd post this in the morning.

There are a lot of similarities between my niece, Sophia and me. This is true most of the time, but as she gets older I have watched her grow into her own beautiful and talented person. She loves to read, she's in drama, she does well in school... those of you who know me are now asking, what do you mean there are differences?? She also plays sports. That's one thing I never did. I was never interested in sports.

Yesterday morning I got to watch the Columbia Heights Girls Basketball team play. Now, I know nothing about basketball, which was probably why it's good for me to go to these events, I watch the majority of the game through the viewfinder of my camera and don't really mind that I don't know what's going on. I only got to watch one of 4 games. I had an event to go to that afternoon so I didn't get to stick around for any of the other games. But, through the technology of smartphones and text messaging I was able to find via facebook and a text from my sister-in-law that the girls won all four games!

I am so proud of my mini-me that's not so mini and becoming less and less of me! I Love You Sophia!
