It was a big weekend for Gabe and Keats. Their baseball team won a championship while the rest of us watched from our pop up tent on the hill. Gabe hit a homerun and later a grand slam that ended the first game and in the second he pitched a shutout (I share for the sake of the memory.) I was so nervous for the boys, especially as they pulled ahead to win the final game against their local rival. I never thought I would be so excited over baseball, but I kind of love it. If we had television I think I would totally watch games on t.v. I have the warmest memories of sitting on my granddaddy’s lap while he watched one baseball team on the big box television and listened to a second on the radio at the same time. I sure wish he could be with us as we watch our boys play.
Silas happened to share a birthday (3!) with the big win, but he didn’t get to keep a trophy. Birthday details soon!

Congratulations guys! That’s so awesome!! I LOVE watching baseball, especially at home. It’s the best soundtrack for taking a nap — and mean that as a compliment! Whomever narrates most of the MLB games has the most soothing voice ever (I’m totally blanking on his name right now…).
Happy Birthday Silas!
Ruby says
