Splash in the Rain Puddles

As we wrapped up the All Star season for Chase this past weekend, my heart is so full of gratitude for the coaches and families who gave so much of their heart and time to our team.  We had a team full of great talent for sure....but more importantly it was a team full of love and support from family, friends and coaches.  Each weekend we got to go watch some great baseball and develop some great relationships.  For Chase, he was not only taught the game of baseball, but also the importance of focus, good sportsmanship, the joy of playing a sport you love with your friends, and how your attitude effects everything you do.  I love sports.  I love the things our kids can learn when coached in the right way.  A huge thank you to my hubby and 3 other wonderful coaches who did a tremendous job this season.  I truly believe your impact will last a lifetime in those kids.  Way to go Seaford!! Runner up in the last tournament! my boy had quite a weekend in the field on defense....

I refuse to acknowledge the appearance of back to school supplies in the aisles of Walmart.  We are having way too good of a summer to start thinking about that!! I love these days when the kids never really know what day of the week it is...when we always smell like sunscreen....when there is always yummy produce to be eaten...later mornings and nights....lots of ice cream and italian ice...and sore throats from cheering for so much baseball. I'm so proud of this guy and his entire all star team.  They practiced hard....through some crazy intense heat...to get ready for their tournament.  And even though it ended sooner than we had hoped I could not be more proud of how he played.  Way to go bud! and these guys have 2 first place championships in the books! and this one gets the little brother of the year award.  he has spent hours at ballparks this summer and usually does it with a smile on his face.   keeping Buckeye cool in the heat ahh yes....summert
