We Are The Champions!

"We are the Champions!"

That's right, The Expos are NDLL's Rookie ball champions and Brenden is obviously
THRILLED!!

Unfortunately, Brenden was out of town during the championship games so he didn't really get to witness all of the winning excitement first hand. However, this is a blessing too because he didn't get to witness the drama or debating as well. (Got to love little league ball!)

We got together with his teammates the other night so their coach could pass out trophies, recognize the players, and celebrate the season!

It was a great night but more than that...we had an amazing baseball season!
When we started this season out we said that what we wanted most for Brenden was for him to have a blast. He has always loved baseball since he was teenie tiny so we were fearful of seeing this passion dissolve. We had also said that if Brenden did a great job or improved his skills along the way, then that was a bonus for us. Little did we know that Brenden would absolutely LOVE this game after his first season. On top of that, we couldn't believe that he was surrounded with teammates, coaches, and families that were amazing! Even more than all of that, he rocked some baseball skills occasionally! The season was sprinkled with moments of absolute delight when he would come of the field super excited about his success at batting and fielding.

To say that we were pleased or proud is putting it lightly compared to our true feelings!
After 1 season, we're amazingly appreciative and thankful!
We can't wait for spring to come around again so we can play some more!!!

(Until then...enjoy these pictures from the celebration and stay tuned to info about soccer soon.)
