the boy of summer

I always look forward to summer baseball.  Grammy and I get to see you hustle and bustle along the base paths, trying hard to hit the ball, score a run or make a play.  Nothing like a baseball game on a warm summer day, especially when you’re playing.  The only thing missing is the hot dog and popcorn! (hey we’ll have to try that next year).

Like all the other sports you play, you stepped up your game this year. You try hard and love the competition.   It’s been fun seeing your progress!  Here are some shots of you in action:


your peaceful place

At school your class was doing a unit on peacemakers like Martin Luther King and Gandhi. Everyone was asked to think about and draw their "peaceful place." After some thought you decided it was the beach house. You said "Oh, it's really peaceful at night."
