Hannah has decided that she wants to be on the high school's tennis team. Don't think she had ever even played before, but her good friend was joining, so Hannah did too. We're excited for her.
While in Oregon we picked up a nice racket at a thrift store. Got her a pair of sneakers and a water bottle at a yard sale. So, she's set. She's already been practicing the last few weeks.
In order to play sports, she needed a doctor's OK, so I took her on Wednesday. We learned she has mild scoliosis (my sister has that) and the doctor will keep an eye on that as Hannah grows. We also learned that she might have some hearing loss in her right ear. We will go to a specialist to have that tested further. We're hoping, of course, that it's just ocean water and pressure changes from the car trip on Tuesday and that the effect is temporary.
Besides totally de-junking her room (you should have seen the piles of stuff that were taken to the thrift store!), Hannah has been repainting her room this summer and that includes her door. She had the idea to write quotes on her door...
Kind of cute. I haven't had a chance to read them all yet, but I particularly like the quote, "There is no delight in owning anything unshared." I'll have to add that to my blog quotes.
