It feels like just yesterday James was too small to hold a bat, and now here we are, wrapping up his first season of teeball. I’m bursting with pride as I look back on all the moments — the struggles, the dirt, and the joy — that made this season one to remember. The schedule […]

Yesterday was a day I won’t forget anytime soon. James met another milestone and has a new haircut.
