Today's high: Alex's team won the league championship--7-3. Alex got two great hits, the first of which ended up being a 2-run "homer" as can only happen in 8-year old baseball. (It was a really solid hit, but anything that goes into the outfield tends to get thrown around all over creation.) The second was just as sweet--high over second base and dropped in beautifully. He scored then too. It was 102 degrees outside, and Alex played tough in his full catcher's gear, sun blaring into his face. I really love watching my son play baseball.
A second highlight--When I was putting Elijah to bed, I told him only 3 days left for Alex and Katy to be on summer vacation (a high in itself!), and he said in his most enthusiastic way, "WOW, Mom! That's where Bwyson and Cason and Miss Maurice and Mr. Wave are going!"
I love my kids! (I also love my friends Bryson, Cason, Cherise and Wade.-T)

Way to go Alex!!! Great hits and great catching, even in the Texas heat! You made a difference for your team and we are all proud of you. I do recall watching 8 year olds play baseball, and it is the same in CA as in TX!!! Also, what a delight that Elijah is still saying "cute" things. Thanks for sharing some of da-cuteness with us!
