There I admitted it.
He is responsible, funny, moody, hungry, smart, takes initiative, loves the foods I love, has a dry sense of humor and thinks I'm funny, makes good decisions, loves God, values friends, is sensitive, kind, oh my list is endless.
He is almost done with his freshman year in highschool and I am beside myself at how quickly it is going. We work hard to savor all the times we have with our kids. To enjoy everything they do. To cherish the time we are given with them.
This spring has been totally chaotic with 4 kids in baseball. The month of April brought us 27 games in 4 weeks. Luckily, we only needed to hire additional parents to help us out three times. Not bad. We will not discuss our diet or dining out budget. Both are shot. Back on track this month for sure!
But spending the spring watching A-Dog play baseball was just sweet.
He has always loved baseball. From the time he was 2 he could hit the ball. He would spend HOURS playing wiffle ball with grandma and grandpa.

You had a great season Bud! Proud is a word people throw around loosely, but we are proud of you, and above all, you played with integrity, heart and soul and pure sportsmanship. You a a quality teammate that anyone would be lucky to have!
Cheers!
AMEN! Ditto to all you said and more. Great, great kid (with equally great parents :-) The time goes by sooooo fast.
ReplyDeleteHis love of baseball hits a home run with me. It's my favorite sport to play since I was really small. Heck I'm sporting a scar above my lip where one of my beloved brothers smacked me with the baseball bat as I was catching for them...I couldn't of been 6 or 7 I think!! Seriously spent 1000's of hours playing as a kid across the street in the field from gramma's house. Glad he's a quality sportsman. Pretty rare to see these days. Marilyn
