Buy Me Some Peanuts & Cracker Jacks

Sam & Will started baseball. They have only played in preseason tournaments up to this point so it will be interesting to see how the regular season goes. So far, my boys are making HUGE strides. They had never played or even been interested in baseball before this year. I am not sure they were interested in playing even this year but they had to choose a sport, and I guess they were tired of soccer. Well, it has been an eye opener for them. They really knew very little about the game at all (not for lack of effort on their father’s part). But in such a short time and with great pain, they are getting it. Although Will thinks we are pushing sports for scholarship opportunities, we really just want them to understand the game, feel comfortable playing it, and be willing and open to all things new. You know what, they are doing just that. I mean, I am amazed. It has been SOOOOOO hot here this summer. Many, many days of 100+ heat with 2 hour practices and they have complained a little, but really given it effort and are doing their best. I am SO proud to watch them, cheer them on, and to take them home, even when Sam hit the ball and ran to 3rd
