Chandler's Leadership Project

Chandler was enrolled in the same FLVS hosted leadership class as Logan but had delays in his project due to waiting on certain items to arrive via shipping. His project idea was to partner with the same CareNet center that Logan had, with an emphasis on encouraging young fathers. We learned that many care centers are trying to increase efforts to reach out to expectant fathers and  provide new parent education  for young men facing a new phase in life.  Chandler assembled "New Daddy" bags. He chose a baseball themed bag and a small, soft baseball. On each baseball, he wrote "Play Catch With Me Daddy" or a similar sentiment to capture the idea that a young man will have an important role to play in his baby's life. He also included a copy of The Life Book~ generously provided by Gideons, Intl.

Some of our favorite small friends watched the baseball games too. We managed to stay entertained during tournament season with the help of a busy bag filled with snacks (especially apples, bananas, & any version of cheese flavored "crunchy"), small toys, books & art supplies filled the bag and the passing hours.   *** Pirates Field*** Rye likes things organized *** Fighting Christians Field *** (Fighting Christians?!)

For The Championship

No one in the stands last night bothered with the whole bleacher. We only required the edge of our seats to keep a sharp eye on the field, the coaches, and especially those umps. Each team had scored  dramatic wins in the previous week, bringing them to this third, tie-breaking match for the season championship. Those of us holding our breath were blue by the time a score finally blinked onto the scoreboard in the fifth inning. As we neared the end of seventh inning, the score had climbed in such a way (6-1) that the fans for the opposing team began to quietly celebrate their (inevitable) win behind me. In all fairness, their optimism was understandable. At this age, they only get seven regular innings. It was all but over. Only the technicality of one last  'at-bat' for our team remained before the other team could get on with celebrating their win. With gloves of resignation on their heads and the threat of tears in some eyes, our boys made the switch. I'm not very keen o...

Ballpark Bird

This weekend, we LIVED at a local ball park while The Brewer Brothers participated in tournaments... Some of the games were LATE GAMES, so we befriended coffee:  Enjoyed healthy snacks (what? they're orange, like carrots!) in the truck with Buzz & Woody  (Rye has just discovered the Toy Story Franchise): Gathered "flowers" in the big field:  Caught up on some reading: Discovered RING POPS  ® Napped: Oh, and we watched a little baseball:  FERNANDINA BEACH PIRATES  12U BABE RUTH LEAGUE
