Softball: Not just for girls anymore!

This past week has been filled with softball excitement. I have experienced all of the highs and lows that the game has to offer. Our Friday night team ended the season by losing to the first place team last week, Hopyard Brewmasters, 11-6. That team had beaten us by over 15 runs the first time we played them so it was nice to keep the score semi-respectable in our closing game. We finished the season 2-10. That is 2 wins, 10 losses. This is the same league that we finished second in last season. We need to practice more in the off season I suppose.

The past 2 Monday's, the Pleasanton Sports Park hosted the VBC Coed Softball Tournament. According to our critics, "our team was stacked." Technically...it was. The tournament was a lot of fun. It was really cool to see the interaction between the various teams, teammates, fans, and umpires. One of the guys on my team, JB, is actually an umpire from our Friday night league who Wayne asked to sign up. Mel and I had a really long conversation with him last night in the parking lot after the last game about the Lord and about our church. He was in shock that our team's leftfielder, Gary, was actually the preacher. He couldn't believe how down to earth he was. JB said he wants to come check out our church because everyone was so nice to him. Our team won the championships which was a nice bonus.

Mel is feeling great. The baby (BOY!!!) is kicking a lot and is quite happy to be alive. In our most recent doctor's appointment, the doc said that Mel is measuring big. We asked what that meant and he said that we are going to have a big boy. Probably 7 feet tall or so. We have already started getting the kid some stylish threads. My mom keeps buying the baby stuff as well. And yes, we have a name but we're not telling you! Oh yeah...I passed all three of those crazy English CSET tests that I took the other day. Until next time.
