Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Ah, Summer...warm weather, no school, and BASEBALL!

We are a baseball family. Tom coaches Dax and his team in Coach Pitch, and he is also the head coach for Gage's Little League team, the Twins. Oh, and Tom also plays on a city league with his brothers and cousins. So we have baseball games or practice every day of the week but Thursday. Dax just finished up his season...here are some pictures of him and his team.

Gage's team is currently playing in the city tournament, they won their game on Wednesday night quite dramatically at the end, it was a lot of fun to watch. Gage usually plays pitcher, shortstop, or third baseman because he has an arm on him and can throw hard and pretty accurately. Here are pics of Gage.

Tom's team is also in the middle of tournament play, unfortunately they lost their first game Wednesday night. (Yes, there are multiple nights we watch more than one game!) Here is Tom.
The boys all look so cute in their baseball get-ups! (I'm sure they love me saying that!) I am so grateful that Tom is the type of dad that is involved in the kids activities and supports all of them with anything they try. Tom is also a super coach, every year I have many parents tell me they have appreciated all that Tom's done in teaching their kids to play ball. He is patient with all the kids and teaches them the real rules of baseball which helps to prepare them to play better when they are older. We have met a lot of great families through coaching baseball through the past few years. I love that Tom is willing to sacrifice his time to volunteer to coach all the kids. He is amazing!
