a season to remember.

We played in our last tournament this week at Homewood and lost, again, to Hoover in the nail-biting championship.

Brooks really improved this season, had the best attitude, and played his heart out at pitcher, left field, and first base. We are so proud, buddy!

We are also incredibly thankful for the bit of normalcy baseball brought to this unusual time. It was definitely a season we will never forget! Now, it's time for a vacation...

crib upgrade.

We finally transformed the nursery into a big boy room. Camp has been crawling out of his crib for quite some time, so we decided it was time to upgrade him from a crib to a bed. 

To say that he was excited to sleep in his new (to him) bed is an understatement. He could hardly contain himself!

His first night was a success. He did amazing! Way to go, Camper!

growing collection.

Update: 11 games in 6 days. 15 consecutive hours at a tournament in Warrior, Alabama yesterday. WOW! But, what an awesome day it was. Homewood Red added another championship to their belt!

We have truly loved watching and cheering on these players. And, it's not over yet! So far, Brooks has added a game ball and two rings to his growing collection. Way to go, #17!

one down.

Well, that's a wrap on our first post-season tournament.

Congrats to the cutest runner-ups in all the land!

born for this.

 He was pretty much born for this gig.

happy for my birthday.

The great debate: when to throw Camp a birthday party? Our lives have revolved around baseball this past week, but we managed to fit in a small, family celebration this afternoon. We had so much fun showering our birthday boy with love. John grilled hot dogs, the kids splashed around on the waterslide and ate cake with ice cream. It was perfect.

After it was all said and done, Camp walked up to me and said, "Momma, I'm happy for my birthday."

I'm happy, too, my heart.
