All the Mother’s Day things—grateful for my mo All the Mother’s Day things—grateful for my mom and the ones who call me mom and the places I get to fill in the gaps and the hurt and the waiting and the in between. 

It’s a day of balance and challenge and so many emotions and thoughts. Where ever you fall on the Mother’s Day spectrum, I hope your day was just what you needed.
From band to the baseball field and back again. B From band to the baseball field and back again.

Big day yesterday with 1s in both band competitions and a 2-0 day on the field. 

Today didn’t go the way we wanted on the diamond, but that’s a big part of the game.

I don’t want to remove the failure because it’s part of life. It’s what helps us grow. We don’t grow when life is easy and comfortable. Growth comes from working through the hard and getting better—not just in baseball but in life. 

Full disclosure: it is a lot more fun when we win, though. 🙃 Grateful for these boys and this team to grow with.
