Community Softball

Sunshine and T-bug played their first softball games tonight. I love gathering with the community at the ball fields to cheer on our little kids who don't know which base to run to or where to throw the ball. We cheer as if they are pro's- and to us they are. Just watching my girls swing the bat, whether it connects or not, gives me a sense of pride. And living in a community where I know that everyone else is going to cheer them on no matter how well they do also makes me proud. I am proud of the people who live in this little corner of heaven for making it a safe place for our kids. It's a safe place for them to learn, to fail, to succeed, to grow. I feel very connected to this place that we have chosen to raise our kids in and I am grateful for the members of the community who make it possible to feel that way.
