Baseball practices are in full swing, and Christian is loving it. He’s had scrimmage games last night and this afternoon and did fantastic. He got a home run during both games, pitched great, played catcher and 1st base flawlessly, and ran the bases like a pro. He seemed more sure of himself than he usually does, and announced at lunch today that he wasn’t shy anymore. HALLELUJAH! I don’t know if we’ll win a game this year, but for this statement alone, I’m going to declare us the champs. Jackson had practice this afternoon, too. Nothing pro or flawless about it, but in his mind, and ours, he was a champ before he ever started.
