sports weekend...whew!

what a weekend we just had! it was all day sports day on saturday....
noah and nate both had opening day baseball games...nate's team the owlz played first...then opening day ceremonies....a quick lunch....then noah's team the bats played....with team and individual pictures mixed in as well....nothing a like a nice spring morning and early afternoon at the ballpark. i'm so proud of noah and nate both....the both played the pitcher fielding spot for their respective teams and both were the leadoff batters in the lineup. Both played exceptionally well. with all the excitement there was a little sadness...another "last first"....it was nate's first baseball game...i realized as he was playing that I would not have another first baseball game with one of my sons....they are growing up so quickly.
and speaking of growing up...luke is now 13 years old...i can't believe it....he is on the aau basketball team i'm coaching....we played in our second tournament this weekend....so after two baseball games that morning we were involved with 3 basketball games that late afternoon and evening....what a day! the team did really well and luke played great! we were 4-1 on the weekend with all four wins over 20 points each....we lost in the championship to a team that finished 5th in the nation last year....now we know what kind of work we have to do....i'm really enjoying working with these 13-14 year old boys....watching God work on them little by little is amazing and rewarding.
whew!
