can only mean one thing...
Softball season has begun again!
We almost didn't sign her up for softball - we thought it might be to much with drill team and a tougher teacher for 2nd grade (we love you Jo!)... but at the last possible minute we alled to see if Violet could join her old team from the last 2 seasons. Unfortunately the league was full... so I called her old coach and said if a spot opened up to let us know. Wouldn't you know it - the day before their first game, they called and Violet was back on the team! She was thrilled. The cool part is that almost all the girls from before are back. AND the group moved up a division and is now 8B instead of 8C... so they are running the bigger bases and the rules are a little stricter. And they are playing some teams that are tougher, so it's a good challenge. And of course, Violet loves it. She's pitched a few innings, but is really hitting her stride as shortstop - totally stopping the ball, covering second base, and even tagging out some runners. Totally cool to watch her play her part so well!

Her games are Tuesdays and Saturdays through the end of October - call if you want to join us for any of the games. I know Violet would love to see friends and family watching her play.

Yes, we will come, and we could tailgate at the game too. That would be splendid,
