The Yankees

Samuel is a Yankee and loving it. He slides into home plate every time he rounds the bases. His encouraging chants can be heard all the way from the positions he plays. His team this year is wonderful and we are blessed to have a great coach. As many unhappy parents can probably attest this is a huge deal. I wouldn't have put up with a horrible coach anyway. Sam coached third base at Samuel' s first game and had a great time arguing more than one play to a very ROOKIE umpire. That umpire should have had his rules memorized like Sam does then he wouldn't feel so silly when a parent calls him out quoting pages from the rule book verbatim. I love it. Samuel's first game was a tie and his second was a win by 2 runs. The games are on Saturday mornings early and the field is perfectly close to the parking lot so i don't have to walk a mile to get there. His practice was canceled tonight because of thunderstorms which seem to greet us every late afternoon. We need this rain so badly. Hopefully it will come without fail everyday and our brown grass won't feel so painful underfoot.
