During the summer he is going to play on a men's softball league (beer league, so he won't be totally out of it.<br /><br />Yes, we are definitely proud of him!<br /><br />Karen and Steve....Yes perhaps one day there will be grandchildren and they will play ball.<br /><br />I certainly won't miss the bleacher butt or the cold days/nights bundled up trying to watch a game.

We had sat on so many metal folding chairs over the years, watching her sing her heart out. Solos, competitions and awards... all done. Erin was in band so we sat through many band concerts and orchestras. All the bleacher butts from watching the boys basketball and baseball games!<br /><br />But guess what? Now we have GRANDCHILDREN! And they will sing, play sports, be in plays, and science fairs and school events. In a short time, it will be back in the bleachers or on the metal folding chairs with these aging grandparents butts! <br /><br />*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...

We felt very similar feelings when our son was finished playing basketball. We are grateful as now we can watch him coach basketball. He has coached AAU basketball for many years and this past year he coached high school girls.<br /><br />Like someone else said, you definitely can be proud of your son and the job you did as parents.Ali Workentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536435759964406148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43495002930601203042010-05-17T20:16:38.521-04:002010-05-17T20:16:38.521-04:00Hi Ruth here, I'm at my dad's so Kevin cou...Hi Ruth here, I'm at my dad's so Kevin couldn't confer with me when he wrote the post, but I have to make a correction here. We lied about his age in T-ball when he was four because he wasn't suppose to play until he was 5 years of age. With Little League we couldn't do that as they have to have proper identification (his birth certificate)so he couldn't play until he was legally 8 years old.<br /><br />Kevin is right though, we sure will miss his baseball!<br /><br />RuthKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-73932843999656124062010-05-17T19:18:18.687-04:002010-05-17T19:18:18.687-04:00You guys can be rightfully proud of that young man...You guys can be rightfully proud of that young man, Sam takes many midwest college teams on the bus and the games are always very fiercly competative, just great baseball.
