Go A's!!!

This year it's been a cold, windy, and often wet spring here in Boise, and we know this first hand because we were out there each evening for our first adventure into T-ball. Somehow Tim was asked to be coach this year and because we are a little naive and perhaps a little young and stupid :) he accepted and the adventure began. It was sometimes hard juggling all of our schedules, but it was so worth it to see Marcus have such a great time and to see those kids fall in love with Coach Tim. Tim was really patient and kind with his little team and I think those kids really had a wonderful experience which was really what Tim was striving for. I don't think that Marcus will play professionally or even in school someday--he's a little more of a social butterfly and would rather chat with anyone and everyone around him than actually watch for the ball--and if you asked him what his favorite part of T-ball was he'd probably answer, "The snacks at the end!" We're just glad he had a good time and was always excited to be there with the other kids and his dad.

At the end of the season, we had a pizza party and the kids were presented with trophies that had their names on them--Marcus said, "Mom, my name won't wipe off! It's really carved on there!" And unknown to us, they'd gotten a plaque for Tim. We thought that was really nice and Tim loved getting it and sharing in the success of a good season with all the parents and his proud little players. Go A's!!
