Confession: I enjoy coaching softball

A couple years ago Katie convinced me to sign Ellie up to play softball with Erika. Shortly after, she was convinced to coach and I agreed to help. I was clueless but was game. It took 2 years before I felt confident enough to enjoy it. Finally, this year, I did. Four seasons later it was fun for me and I think Ellie too!

She's turned into a little first basement enough to even make the allstar team. Not only is it fun to see Ellie grow, but I'm amazed at how fun it is to watch the other girls grow over these two years as well. What amazing thing it is to see other kids grow and maybe have had some influence on it. It's awesome when they are proud of themselves. 

This year's All-Star game was very intense. Our girl started off ahead, then we fell behind, and then we came back and had an awesome six inning and one! My blood is pumping so heavily during this game. It was so excited watching the girls. We were not the top-seeded team, but we will talk seeded team together.
