Sweethearts on the Hill

I had the pleasure of starting my day off today with some outstanding baseball and more proud mommy moments than one person should be allowed in a lifetime. Sam has been playing for the Giants in the Pee Wee League for the past two months. It is a league of 6 and 7 year olds and an enormous step up from last year. For the most part, the 7 year olds lead the team and the 6 year olds are there to learn - and my Sam is certainly no exception to that rule. He's never been a die hard sports fan, but kind of hangs in there either because he sort of likes it, or just to please us… I've never been too sure. Well, his team is awesome this year! So he has definitely enjoyed winning A LoT! Doesn't care much if he has an outstanding game or not… but definitely loves to analyze the scoreboard and keep up with how each team is progressing. They played their first play-off game last night against the Rangers. It was a close one. The Giants went into the bottom of the last inning down

Well, my little sweetheart is all grown up! No more preschool for this little man. No way. He is off to kindergarten! St. Mark's has been such a blessing to my kids. We have had outstanding teachers every. single. year. My kids have loved going to school there day after day after day.    My spunky Charlie was one proud little graduate!   I think he is pausing in this picture below to make sure everyone has a chance to get a good glimpse of him and all he has accomplished!
