Spring Baseball

Tonight we ended another great season of baseball.  Parker and his teammates played hard all season and ended with a 10-2 record, which put them in second place for the season!  Parker played pitcher and 3rd base most of the season, but also got a chance to be catcher tonight and loved it! 
The girls were enthralled with every pitch of every game. They knew exactly what was going on at all times which made it so easy for me to watch the game!!!  Or... they played in the dirt and ran around during the game and didn't even know when it was Parker's turn to bat!
The best part of this season was watching Cory pitch the last three games for Parker's team.  Our head coach had to be gone last week so they asked Cory if he'd be interested in pitching in his place.  Cory has always dreamed about coaching Parker's team but has never been able to due to the limitations that MS has put on him.  Watching him pitch the last few games has been amazing! 
Cory has been dealt what often feels like an unfair hand, but he never complains, never gives up, and pushes through even on the hardest of days.  He never uses MS as an excuse and does whatever he needs to fulfill his dreams, especially when his kids are involved. It's been so fun to watch him pitch to Parker and his teammates the last three games of the season- something he never thought he'd get the chance to do.  It was a perfect way to end another great baseball season!
