I constantly am asked by clients to post some photos of my kids on my blog.  Okay, so they are beautiful subjects….I love them…..and I’d plaster them all over the blog if I thought that was really what people were visiting my site to see.  However,  occasionally I do bend to the pressure and post a few images.  This week wraps up with a baseball jamboree and a season end party at our house.   Imagine 14 boys, their siblings, parents, grandparents, lots of food, trophies, and general chaos…that will be my house on Friday.  Pray for sunshine please.  :)  

As I was burning DVD’s with photos from the season to give to the parents of my son’s teammates I couldn’t help smiling.  What an amazing group of kids.  My husband, Rob, has coached many of these boys for 4 years now.  They started out digging sand castles in the dirt watching the ball go by.  Now they are pulling double plays, hitting home runs, and are playing as a real team.  As I thought about their growth both athletically and emotionally I was really astounded.  I’d like to commend my husband, his coaching team, and the parents for their dedication to the boys.  It is a real commitment to be involved in your child’s life.  Years from now they will remember little about their youth…but they will remember that you showed up, participated, supported them, and loved them.  I encourage all parents to step up, get involved, show some interest, and see where your child takes you. 

MY, OH, MY THAT BALL HAS LEFT THE YARD!!!!
