Ouch!!!

We knew Taylor could pitch a fast softball, but Charlie found out just how fast.

Charlie was catching with Taylor in the back yard when he was distracted by one of the other kids and missed a throw from Taylor. It hit him in the head, just above his eye. Needless to say it was a bloody mess and required 7 stitches

The doctor did a nice job stitching him up. He had to take a few days off from work. He said he would only wear a face mask when catching with Taylor from now on!!

A Softball Season to Remember

Taylor had an amazing softball season this summer.  It was so fun because she already knew many of the girls from last year’s team and they had an outstanding season by finishing 2nd out of 14 teams.  Charlie and I were blown away at how much Taylor improved this year.  She really stepped up her game both in pitching and hitting.  In fact she became the go to pitcher and pitched in every tournament game.  She really improved on her accuracy and speed throughout the season.  In the semi-final game of the tournament, it went into triple overtime and Taylor pitched all 6 innings striking out 12 girls and only allowing 1 run.   In addition to her excellent pitching she hit a home run, 4 triples and several doubles.

Little Emily Turns 4

It is hard to believe but our baby girl is 4 years old.  We celebrated her birthday at our house with lots of family and lots of dolls.  Since Emily is all girl and loves everything pink and girlie she was so excited to receive lots of dolls and princesses.  It was a fun evening filled with cake, ice cream and lots of smiles.
