Buddy goes bananas!

What a game! Who knew that Little League could be so exciting? Our Buddy closed the game out and got the save. He has a 2-0 record with 2 RBI's and, now, one save. He pitched the last 2 innings and struck out 3 boys and only walked 1 boy.(which is pretty awesome in Little League where the pitching is so poor that almost everyone walks!)He found his niche- pitching! We are so happy for him. We are developing a whole cheering section of families. Martha attended the game with us- I can't tell for sure if she was interested in the game or the $1 twist cone she knew was coming??? At the end of the game (which was a close one) we all just lost our minds and cheered, clappped, and yelled. It was great! Of course, it isn't about winning or losing...

Today we have a day at the park. We are attending 2 play groups. In between the two, we are going to go to the library to sign Martha and Buddy up for the summer book club. Martha is into Trixie Belden BIG TIME and can't seem to put the books down. This is so funny to me because I went through the same phase about 25 years ago. I read almost every Trixie Belden book I could get my hands on. When I finished those, I moved on to Nancy Drew. When I finished those, I moved on to Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and some romance novels (Teehee...hormones had kicked in....).Anyway..Martha loves to read when she finds something she thinks is worth reading.

I better get things ready to go for the day.

Blessings,
