Soccer star


Since college will be around $2 million a year by the time Ellie is 18, Lori has decided to focus on an athletic scholarship as Ellie's ticket to school. Right now Lori is starting Ellie off with soccer and then is planning to introduce lacrosse later on. So far, Ellie seems to have a natural gift for just running up and down the sidewalk. We're not so sure about the hand-eye coordination yet.










No, she's not looking at anything in the sky. If you notice there's a trend in these pictures of the head tilted and looking up - that's her new picture pose!

Too bad you couldn't get into college on looks cuz Ellie would be a shoo-in!

Thanks, Jess!

By-the-way, I am open to any type of scholarship! Perhaps she will take after her smart mama and be good at math and science!

PS Despite all the posing, she really DID do well with her kicking! Perhaps cousin Kyleigh can come out and teach her a few soccer tricks!

I'm thinking with poses like that, Ellie has a future in modeling! With the way things are going in sports, it's probably a good thing she's got the poses down because once she becomes a pro-athlete, she'll need to pose for Nike or some other big sponsor =)

Who are you kidding! She's a natural! She can throw it and bounce the ball off her head - oh sure, not every time but I have seen her do it!! I think sometimes she even surprises her self.
