Fallen off the face of the earth?

Nope we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I just forget to post! It's been a busy busy year so far. Right now we are in the middle of softball season, so we run, run and run! Autumn is playing rec ball and managing the travel 12u team. Alyx is playing rec ball.




Now time to brag-lol. Last week Alyx got the game ball on her team and was carried off the field has she made the first double play this year! It was the last inning, her team was only up by one and the other team had the tieing run on base. Alyx was playing 2nd base. The girl came up to bad, hit a pop fly, Alyx caught it! But the little girl on started to run to second so after Alyx caught the pop fly she threw her out. I was so proud, and so was everyone else. Here is a pic of her being carried off the field after winning the game!
I'm so proud of Autumn too! Besides playing softball and managing a softball team she has managed to get straight A's all year long-her first year in middle school! It it hasn't been just barely A's either most of year six week averages are between 98% and 102%! We got a letter a few weeks ago that she will be honored next week with an academic medal-I'm so proud. Then we also got a letter saying she will be given a special award on the 8th of June-kind of like the citizenship award in elementary school, this award is given to a few students who have high academic merit but also show good citizenship characterises! Way to go Autumn!

I'll try to post a little more often, but don't hold your breathe! Have a great Memorial Day weekend and remember all those who have served or are serving our country-they are America's true hero's!
