My little tennis star

Natalie has always been interested in watching sports. When she was a baby she would watch soccer with Aaron for hours. This summer she enjoyed watching the Olympics. Aaron used to play tennis before I came along. He enjoys watching it on TV so Natalie watched Wimbledon and the US Open with him. We have some tennis courts in our neighborhood and she saw some people playing the other day so she wanted to go into the courts and play. We let them run around for a bit, no one was playing at the time. We figured we could get her a racket and see if she wanted to play. Aaron was very excited.

So this morning Aaron took Natalie to get her a tennis racket and get one for me and some tennis balls. After the girls nap this afternoon we hit the courts. Natalie stylish as ever with her sunglasses and pink (of course it had to be pink ) racket. Izzie just had fun chasing balls and playing with water bottles. Good thing no one was playing on the other court as the balls were going all over the place and the girls were too. I realized I am not good at tennis but at least we tried. It was a lot of fun and the girls had fun running around. It was very hot so we could not stay for too long (it's almost Oct and it still feels like middle of summer).

Here are some pictures of Natalie & Izzie having fun.

I just posted a blog called "my little tennis star" about my daughter :) But she hasnt started playing tennis yet. She just wore the outfit for a fancy dress competition at her playschool.

Here in India, tennis is only just becoming fashionable-all thanks to Sania Mirza, India's first female tennis player to ever win a grand slam (mixed doubles at the Australian Open this year).

Your daughters are adorable!!!
