Spring 2009

Spring is such a busy time in our household. I was making our monthly calendar to hang on the fridge last night, something to do almost every day. I enjoy it though. I enjoy watching Andrew play ball. He enjoys it. This year Andrew is playing on the minor league team. Which means kids will be pitching to each other and 4 times as many games. He actually had to "try out". There were 51 kids that tried out for 25 openings. He did a great job. They had 5 balls thrown to them and he hit every one of them!!!!! He also had to catch ground balls. One of the balls went past him, so Andrew stops it with his cleat.... I guess the point is to stop the ball, whatever works, right? They were going to call us within the week to let us know if he made the team.

We got the call on Monday! 2 days after tryouts! He was picked up in the first round. #6 out of 51!!!!! WOW! Travis and I were ecstatic, as any parent would be. We called Andrew downstairs to tell him the good news. His reaction: "OK, I knew I would make it......"! Not the reaction I thought he would have!! Although I admire the confidence that he has.
