Sadie's turn at Softball

 We signed up all three girls for softball this fall!  Sadie is in the rookie division where they have machine pitch.  Her team is the Rockies.  We really enjoy watching her team play.  One parent said this age is like watching the Bad News Bears :0).  Sadie is having a blast & really enjoys playing catcher!  I think that's because there's lots of action there.  Out in the field...not so much.

 Go Rockies!

First Day of School

 Up at the crack of dawn for middle school.  Definitely an adjustment...yawn. 

 It all hits me as she's walking out the door.  "No wait!  How in the world could she already be old enough for middle school?  What happened to my baby???  I just want to hold on to her a little longer this morning."

 And she's off with her buddy. Mom & Dad weren't allowed at the bus stop this year.  Anabelle respectfully disinvited us :0(.

 Round two.  Elise is in 5th and Sadie is in 2nd.  Look...they match!

 Okay...this doesn't happen every morning...spare time before the bus comes that is. At least Danny got some quiet time to chat with one of his ladies.

 There they go.  Danny's ready to party, I'm in tears.  Why does this happen every year?  Danny took the day off, so we did party a little.  We went to breakfast and on a bike ride together.  It felt really weird to be alone!

Here's Anabelle & Danny after the first day.  Looks like they're ready to take on day two!
