Catch UP

Shelley sent me a note saying I needed to post something so since I am an obedient husband, I am posting something.

When I looked at my last post I realized I had not posted anything about our trip to Boston.

Well, Shelley as usually has it documented on her blog so I won't go into all the details but it was a wonderful trip.

The trip was full of great moments like visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, Touring Fenway Park, having Ian Kinsler speak to Seth, watching the Rangers play the Red Soxs, touring the Freedom Trail and going Whale Watching.

 But, to me , as with all our vacations the best part is the time we were together.  Now, it isn't always cotton candy and Unicorns but isn't that part of being a family.  But seeing the boys experience all the things above is a great thrill.  I love just waking up each morning and everyone getting ready for the busy day we have planned.  I love winding down each night and reflecting on the great moments of the day.  I love my family.

Baseball season has also started.  Chase is once again on the Braves but now they have moved to coach pitch so this season may present some new challenges.  Going undefeated like they did last season is unlikely but it should be a fun season.

Seth has moved to a new team, the Astros.  We sought out this new team to try and get him in a better situation. We succeeded!  The head coach is a much better coach and his assistant has coached many little league teams. The environment is more strict, structure and demanding.  There have been moments when Seth as upset because he had been yelled at but I think this past weekend made up for all of that.  He played a double header and they won both games.  Those 2 wins matched his total wins for the past 4 previous seasons.  Winning felt good.

We have also been visiting new churches.  We went 3 weeks to Compass in Colleyville and then this last weekend we went to Gateway in Southlake.  We are going to go there 2 more times and then evaluate.

Oh, and school started.  The boys seem to both like there teachers.
Shelley is tutoring again and she is teaching 2 online classes with DBU.
