Volleyball star




We have one proud dad on our hands! For those that don't know, Mike has quite the passion for volleyball. He played in highschool, college, city leagues, and basically any chance he can get. He hasn't been on a team for at least 6 months and is pretty bummed about it.

He remembered that he had this little volleyball and got it out for Ellie. The video is of them practicing her hitting. As you can see, she has taken to it very quickly and is very excited about it. They did this for a long time! As you can hear, she is quite the chatterbox these days, but I'll save that for another post. But I will just say that she is mimicking us a lot, and if you listen in the video, she says, "good job" after Mike says it. Too cute!

This is Mike's UNLV club team a few years ago.
