Boomer's Birthday & the Game Ball
One of the best presents Boomer received was on the evening before his actual birthday when Emmy got her first game ball! She had a standout performance, especially playing defense in the field. The Walkertown girls took on the Hurricanes, and after getting behind in the 1st Inning, they made a comeback for a 15-13 win. In the 2nd Inning, Emmy made all three outs, including her first line drive catch, followed not long after by her second line drive catch! Mom and I were on a nearby field watching Eli's t-ball game (which was rescheduled from another evening earlier in the week) so unfortunately we missed most of the action. Luckily, my Dad stayed at the softball game and sent us the play-by-play commentary. He also captured on camera the moment when Emmy was awarded the game ball. It was pretty special, and both Emmy and Boomer were beaming with pride! Happy birthday to Coach Daddy!

Hello, Fall!
After returning from our latest Kennedy Ballpark Tour, we headed straight into a new work week on that Monday. The days since then have passed by quickly. Rainy weather has caused some sports cancellations, but in general, we've followed a steady routine of work, school, and ball. Rinse and repeat. Last weekend, when one of Eli's games was cancelled, we spent our open Saturday at the Yadkin Valley Harvest Festival. Like last year, the kids enjoyed the bouncy houses, and we all enjoyed the yummy food, especially the homemade apple pies. The night before, Eli insisted on having a sleepover with his sister, and Boomer acquiesced. Emmy lasted on the floor in Eli's room until the early morning, and then she moved into her own bed around 5AM. Upon waking up about an hour later, Eli was quite upset to find that he was all alone. As you can see from the photos, how it started...
