Our Sick Little Man :(

Thank you to those of you who have asked about Zachary and have been praying for him.  For those of you who don't know, he has been vilently sick since Friday and has refused to eat or drink anoything.  On Monday, the doctor said it was only a stomach virus and didn't seem converned.  After 5 days of this, it was time for us to take him to the hospital last night.  Zachary received IV fluids to bring him out of dehydration and was able to keep some apple juice down for the first time to get his blookd sugar back up.  Luckily, he is STILL sleeping which makes me feel good that he isn't up and in pain.  We are all so ready for him to get better so he can go back to school and go back to playing baseball.  He's such an active little boy and it makes me sad to see him in such bad shape.  Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

Relay for Life

A good friend of mine, Jill, lost her mom to pancreatic cancer this past summer.  She and another friend started a Relay for Life team in memory of their mothers and I decided to join.  If you aren't familiar with Relay for Life, it is basically a huge event to raise money for the American Cancer Society.  Teams raise money, set up tents, and then take turns walking all night.  The event for our area is on May 17, 2013.

If you would like to support my efforts, please visit my personal page at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=52872&pg=personal&px=13871914 to join our team or make a donataion.  It's for a great cause!!!

Let's Give it a Go!

Watch out, Jackie Robinson!  Well, not really.  Saturday was the first official baseball practice for both of my kids, Kadence and Zachary.  They are both on the same team with practice on Tuesday's and games on Saturday's (starting in April). 

Below are a few things we learned while watching practice:

1- Never, never, ever make Zachary do something he doesn't want to do.  If the boy wants to take gymnastics, then let the boy take gymnastics!  He was out on the field doing handstands and cartwheels instead of being worried about playing ball.  He informed us that the field was his own gym!  lol

2- Zachary may, but probably will not be a future baseball star.  He could hit the ball better than anyone out there, but as I stated before . . . he could care less about the game itself!

3- Kadence has an arm on her!  If I ever doubted that before, she proved herself on the field today.

 

4- It's a good thing we were able to get the kids switched the same same team so we can watch both of them play rather than having to rotate weeks.  Also, encouragement may be needed from "Sissy"! 

The kid's first game is on Saturday, April 13th.  More pics to come.  Go Bee's!
