Second Place

Sam's team also ended up facing the A's in tonight's championship game. After six hard fought innings, they came up a little short. But what a great season!
They had a lot of fun, and that's all that matters! Right?!?
The team dumped water on their favorite coach~
Now both boys have trophies and we can gear up for the craziness that is travel season!

Not a Frog

During Sam's playoffs tonight, Charlie found a toad. He's cute, as far as toads go~

Fullersburg Woods

We were able to spend a beautiful day at the Forest Preserve with our friends, the Peseks~
Now, Mary refused to be in the above photo, but I caught her looking quite angelic here~
This just cracks me up because Mary really does everything her "boys" do~

Say Ahhhhh

Mary had her very first dentist appointment. As usual, she was a dream patient~
She loved it! What ever happened to the terrifying dental visits of my youth?!

Champions!!!

After a long season, Charlie and the Mets found themselves facing the A's in the championship game tonight!

Since I was busy biting my nails, I don't have any pictures of the actual game. After six innings the game was tied. The Mets finally won, by one, after two extra innings. This was a very trying season, I'm glad it's over. I'm even happier that it ended well~

Charlie's best bud, Isaac, is in town, and was there for the championship game!!

On to travel season...

A-Hey-Hey

Mary loves her grandpa, and Grandpa loves Mary~
We celebrated Father's Day with Grandpa and Pam~

Of course, whenever Grandpa comes over, we always play Apples to Apples~

Grand Slam Sam!

Sam played tonight in the All-Star Game (he should be easy to spot in the picture below) ~
He was pretty excited~
Sam had the entire crowd on their feet when he crushed a ball down the left field line. After the opposing team contributed a couple of errors, Sam ended up crossing home plate with a grand slam (!!) under his belt! Fans on both sides were going crazy! It was pretty amazing. Of course I wasn't video-taping at the time :( Here he is getting some congratulations from grandma~
Wendy and sweet baby Ava came and watched the game~
Sam's team crushed the opposition. Mary was pretty stoked~
Nobody was surprised when Sam was named MVP~
