It was a beautiful Memorial Day on the East Coast. We spent it with friends and family. Not a bad start to the summer season. Thankful for all of our blessings and greatful to others sacrifice to ensure our freedom
Friends
Zachary has many friends, across an array of different connections. Funny how these connections are a big part of who he has become. Nothing like watching him goof around with his buddies. They all make me smile. The boy is lucky to have so many good friends in his life. These buds help make his …
Growth
And now at 8 years old. We recently played a tournament with two teams that were really, really good..as in pitchers who threw with real heat. On Saturday, we split the games with a win and a loss. Sunday, oh boy, what an amazing two games. The first game, we played the team that destroyed …
Hello Again

Baseball
Last Sunday, the boy finished his last pitching clinic. It was a day of competition. And when all the boys lined up in three lines to pitch, the coach put Zachary in his line. After two rounds to see who could throw the most strikes, it came down to Z and another boy. With everyone …
