Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

PeeWee Sports

This summer we decided to let LTD try out some summer sporting programs through the city Sports & Rec. They have T-Ball on Wednesday mornings and Soccer on Thursday mornings along with their good friends, Ethan & Nate. Dylan has taken a huge liking to both sports and pretty much has a smile plastered on his face the entire time. Lindsey and Taylor on the other hand are not quite sure they are impressed. It's funny watching them try to figure out which hand to put the glove on and that you actually have to catch the balls, throw them, and run from base to base after hitting the balls. It's a complete riot!!

I must say as a former ball player, I am horrified by the quality of coaching. Yah, I know, they're only 4 yrs. old but the high school age coaches need some SERIOUS improvement. I realize it is only 8:00 am but they need to wake up and actually coach and TEACH; imagine that concept. I have stepped in a few times just to show the kids what to do. Other moms look at me like I may be smoking something but I believe in getting my $$ worth. I might as well just take them to the park across the street and teach them ourselves and then drive down 35W and throw $75 out the window. Very frustrating!

I believe the girls have already decided they want to stick to gymnastics and take up "ballerina" classes in the fall. We plan to do just that for them and let Dylan stick to gymnastics and T-Ball/Soccer. He also wants to try basketball and football eventually. Oh so much to look forward to. Check out our T-Ball mug shots below.
