Field of Dreams

 Here is a post that I was working on about 2 months ago... It's a bit out of date, but I'll post it anyway (it'll buy me some time while I organize my life a bit):

 We've been keeping busy, and taking every opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall season while it lasts! So, let's rewind a few weeks...to a gorgeous Sunday afternoon late in September. Ever seen the movie "Field of Dreams"?   Well, the men of the Berean softball teams had the memorable opportunity to play ball in a field much like that one...  

Game on! 

And while I took a lot of pictures on that day, I'm admittedly biased.  There's one player in particular that I'm especially fond of...

Making one of his "signature" diving catches...

(and yes, he caught it :-)

A field of dreams indeed.  And a very good day worth blogging about--even if it is a little lot late.

Snap back to December...

Reading this post, I can't believe how quickly time flies!

It doesn't feel like this could have been 4 months ago already...

We were blessed with a long and beautiful fall this year, and we tried to make the most of it, I think.  So, there will be a few more fall posts to come.

I also hope to post a few pictures of some of the little projects that have gone on in recent months, but those are lower on my priority list so I'll get to them if time permits.

Bulldogs

 Mike is starting his second year of softball with the Berean Bulldogs softball team. 

 Last year they pretty much dominated their league...which made watching the games just a little more fun. The only thing that would make the season sweeter would be if the Bulldogs could dominate my nephew's softball team.  Bummer they're in different leagues...  ;-) Mike had been out of softball for about 7 years or so, and it was really fun to watch him play again last summer. Beth Marie enjoys running around with the other kids and swiping the occasional baby to put on her hip.  And this is where I really should have gotten a picture...  But the season is just beginning, so I will have more opportunities.  We've been so thankful for the sweet friends she has made at Berean Community! Mike at bat: 

 He's gone 5-7 so far this season in 2 games... Men in red: 

Looking forward to a good season of softball...

Go Bulldogs!



 

It's getting to be that time of year...

 . . .when the boys come out to play.  

  Hard to believe in  just . . . one . . . week . . . softball season begins! I can't wait!  The guys went out to break-in their arms a bit tonight: 

There was a little sport who also took a little batting practice with the guys:

So... The countdown has begun... Let us know if you need a copy of this year's schedule! We'd love to see you at the games...
