On Cloud 9

Anderson is LOVING every minute of his tball experience - at the end of every game the coach gives each player a baseball card - a moment that each of the boys looks forward to. As well, the coach gives a "game ball" to one or two deserving players who had a 'stand-out' game. We weren't sure if Anderson had given the gameball notion much thought, but last week Anderson asked Mark if they could go practice his hitting in the backyard -so that he could have a better shot at winning the game ball. It was so sweet, he really wanted to get one and so today when he finally got awarded the coveted game ball, it was really special to him. He hit the ball really well today and is 'all-heart' on the field each and every game- he slides into every base possible and just really takes to heart all the advice and encouragement he can get! What made the moment even more special is that the coach asked the team who they thought should get the game ball and several of them piped up "Anderson!". So sweet!!! So needless to say, my little man is on "cloud 9" this week! I'm so proud of my growing boy, thank you Lord for blessing my little fella with a mighty heart and a love for playing!
