16-0 Baby!

Megan's VPR coach pitch team finished their season yesterday with a cchampionship trophy!

Lipo Technologies Storm finished with a 16-0 record playing teams from Vandalia, Tipp City, and West Milton!

Megan had a tremendous year.  She mainly played first base but also played third and some outfield when needed.

Her hitting improved immensely through the course of the season.  Yesterday during the semi final game, she hit a ball up through the center and it didn't stop until it hit the fence!    As she was running, her coach sent her home, then called her back, then sent  her home again.  By that time the momentum was gone and she was tagged out at home.  Never the less it was a fantastic hit.  She had several more that didn't go as far but went pretty far!

Megan was team captain for the first game!

Big bad first base!

Championship was played on high school diamond!  Girls LOVED the dugout!

It is unusual to see Emily sitting in the stands

Absolutely beautiful weather!

A little down time playing catch in the rain!

Overwhelmed

I was back on track with updating the blog, until softball started!

We have had some sort of softball related activity 24 of the past 26 days.  Normally I would say I love it but for some reason I am not enjoying it so much this year.  The girls sometimes play in different locations at the same time which forces us to separate.  Thank goodness for camera's on cell phones and texting!

Highlights for May and June thus far:

• Megan turned 9 on May 21.  Her birthday party was here at the house and was a success!
• Both girls had wonderful school years!  Megan friended a boy in her class with autism.  Several teachers at Helke have told me how wonderful she is with the boy and how much she helps him. Makes my heart happy!
• Both girls received perfect attendance awards at school. 
• Emily received Top Gun, Principals list, and a few other awards.  Her first year at Morton was a great experience for her and I am so thankful!
• Megan was chosen to do Safety Patrol for 4th grade!  She is thrilled!
• Emily made the VPR 12U All-Star team.
• Megan experienced her first true disappointment in life and did not make the VPR coach pitch all star team.  It broke my heart to have to tell her and broke it even more when I saw her reaction.
• Megan is now on the all star team thanks to some girls for dropping out!
• The girls saw Taylor Swift in concert with their grandma and grandpa!

I am sure there are many more highlights that I can't remember.  Need to start writing stuff down!!!
