Sunday Baseball

After Daniel's crisis on Saturday, our plans for attending the boys baseball games as a family were changed.  Daniel needed to stay home.  The past couple of years Brent and I have become experts at tag-teaming.  So Sunday morning he headed off to Sammy's first game, our sweet friends once again took Drew to his game and I stayed home with my three youngest.  Sam's team lost their first game, and Sunday was single elimination, so there was not another game to attend.  I was bummed to not see him play, but last night one of the mom's on Sam's team (who happens to be a professional photographer) sent me the most fabulous pictures of Sam batting and pitching and fielding at Sunday's game.  I love each one of them...

What a special they gift are to me.  So thoughtful and kind for her to take them and send them to us last night.  Sam is such a great kid...inside and out.  I will always treasure these pictures.  They said he pitched awesome, striking out 6 of the 8 batters he faced.  As I said they lost the game, but Sam had fun playing and smashed a double and a single to add to the 2 triples he hit the day before. He is off to a good start.  And I am glad he has such a good game after the horrible event he witnessed on Saturday.

Drew's team had a good day too.  In my "fogginess", I forgot my camera as I headed to Drew's game Sunday afternoon.  But on Sunday his team made it to the semi-finals after winning their first two games yesterday.  They lost in a close game 12-9, but they played well and were fun to watch.  Drew ended the day with a single and I was so glad to be able to go and watch him play baseball yesterday afternoon.  He played an awesome first base and is just so fun to watch.  What a blessing.
