Happy 52nd birthday, brother in law Don Foy! It was fun singing the birthday song four [or five] times. [You had to be there] And the German chocolate cake rocked! Good times.

Day One Hundred Twenty Eight 2012

It was a gorgeous afternoon for a T Ball game and a ballpark hamburger. Grandson Elijah's team is doing well so far. The Diamondbacks beat the Cardinals 25~10. Not too shabby! The umpire got whacked in the knee about halfway through the game by a little kid who slings the bat after he hits the ball. Ouch!

Day One Hundred Seven 2012

Grandson Elijah takes off after he smacks the ball in the first regular season T Ball game this evening. His team, the Diamondbacks (D'Backs) played the Astros and won the game, 16 ~ 9. Good game, Elijah!

Day Ninety Four 2012

Play Ball! Grandson Elijah played his first T Ball game of the season tonight. He was a short stop in fielding, and he ran like the wind (as you can see in the second picture) when he hit that ball. His team is the Diamondbacks (or D'Backs). They beat the Orioles 15 - 9. Good game, Elijah!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Two 2011

Grandson Elijah’s T Ball team, the Braves, won 2nd place in their league championship game this evening. The whole team played hard this season, especially these last three games. And kudos to all the coaches.  I’m sure at certain moments they felt like they were herding cats. Elijah is very proud of his trophy, and I am very proud of him for doing such a great job smacking those balls and fielding as short stop for his team. Good job, Braves!

Day Two Hundred Fifty Five 2011

Grandson Elijah played T Ball this evening. In these pictures, he's batting, running to first base (that blur is him) and racing to home plate. Some of the kids know what's going on and others don't have a single clue, which makes it all fun to watch and never boring.
