We are the Champions

TJ's championship game was Thursday. We knew it would be a tough game. We beat Highland 2-0 the first time we played them and they beat us 7-1 the second time we played them. TJ had an amazing game. At the bottom of the 2nd inning, we were down 1-0 when he came up to bat. There were 2 runners on. He hit a beautiful hit between left and center field and scored both of those runs. And then on someone else's hit, him and another kid scored. So we were up 4-1 after 2 innings. Highland came back to tie it 4-4 in the top of the 3rd. The next few innings were scoreless. So at the bottom of the 6th inning it was still tied 4-4. The first batter got out with deep fly ball to center. Wyatt Rauch got on with a single. And then TJ got up to bat. Wyatt stole 2nd. TJ hit a hard ground ball to the second baseman who fumbled it. TJ got on, Wyatt scored and we won the game 5-4. It was so fun to watch him have the walk off at bat. 

 
And this is what your coach looks like when you hit the walk off.
This is his whole team running out to congratulate him after his hit. He is in the red helmet. You can barely see him.
Love my #9.

Spring Baseball and Softball

Rook played baseball and Addy and Evie played softball this spring. Evie got the chance to pitch a little bit, which she loved. Jamie got to help coach Addy and Rook and they all had a great season!

Monticello and Gettysburg

Jamie had to make a trip back east around my birthday so I went with him. We go to visit Monticello and Gettysburg. At Monticello they had a guy dressed up like Thomas Jefferson who talked to us about the place as if he were Jefferson. He did a great job. I asked him about John Hancock. We also got to visit Gettysburg. We didn't have a lot of time to spend on the grounds of  Gettysburg but we did make it to the visitors center. The panorama there is really cool. I don't think we have any idea what was sacrificed to bring this country into existence. I really do believe that God was involved in the details.

This was just a random picture while we were driving. Everything is so green and gorgeous back there.
