Giants #1

Well, the season is over. I hate to see it end. We finished 12 wins and 1 loss. Tied for 1st place.

It was a great year. Each year continues to be more fun then the last. We had a couple of really exciting games this year on our way to the #1 finish. In fact, our last game was against the only team that beat us. The Blue Jays beat us 11-6 the first game of year. We didn't lose again and actually beat the Blue Jays our last game to claim a share of the title.

Will had a GREAT year. We didn't know how he would do moving up to the pitching machine league, but it was no problem. He played center field and finished 18-35 at the plate for a batting average over .500. Many of the times he got out he actually drove in runs (rbi's). Actually in a game against Guin about 1 week prior to the season being over we barely won (5 to 3). Will knocked in 2 of our 5 runs by hitting to the right side of infield. He got out, but the runs scored. Then, against the 2 hardest teams, which we played at the very end of the season he was a combined 5 hits in 6 at-bats. Not bad for my 7 year old playing against alot of kids that are 18 months older than him.

Donna continued her cheering ways for Will. She loves it more than me.

Way to go Will Will. We are proud of you.

Now, we will enjoy summer. Will is going to Alabama's basketball camp and Shelton State baseball camp. Then, come September we start Fall baseball. I love it!

Giants now at 9 wins 1 loss

Just a quick update on Will's team, the Giants. We play in the 7-8 yr old machine pitch league. Thus far, we are 9-1. We are really having a good year and won a big game tonight.

Once again I am coaching (technically an assistant ) Will and loving every minute. I handle 3rd base coaching duties and outfield defense.

Will is hitting the ball well. He was 3 for 3 tonight and is 16 for 28 at the plate. That is awesome! Some of the kids we are playing actually turn 9 within a week or two. Will is 18 months younger, so we are really pleased with how good he has done.

3 more games left and they are all probably against the 3 best teams.

If you ever have a few night we invite you to come out to the ballpark.

Will's Church Musical

The children's choir had a musical Sunday night. It was awesome! Will had a speaking role as the "mayor" of the town. He did great. Everyone loves "Will Will" and all had a great laugh when he spoke his lines.

Donna and I waited a long time before we were blessed with Will, but watching him Sunday night made me realize what a tremendous blessing he was. I am proud of my little man and love him very much.
