If You Build It, They Will Come......

Saturday Ivy and I met up with Gamma (my mom), Mawmaw and Pawpaw (the great grandparents) and several other family members to watch Gabster play her first ever baseball game.  Gabster is an awesome kid but also a special needs child. 

In Calera there is an organization that is called Field of Angels. It is an organization that allows special needs kids and adults to be able to play a sport that they might not ever have a chance to play. They started five years ago with enough kids to have two teams. This year they had enough kids for ten teams plus for the first time they had two adult teams. I heard that there was a 60 year old man, that thanks to this league, was able to play baseball for the first time in his life. Awesome!!!!!

Each kid/adult has a "buddy" who bats, runs the bases, and works the field with them to help them out. Each kid bats at least once and everyone always gets a homerun. Just by watching some of these kids, you couldnt help but smile to see them enjoying every moment on the field.

GABSTER WAS ON THE YELLOW TEAM

WOOHOO.....HOMERUN!!!!!!!!

EMILY, GABSTERS "BUDDY"

Then on Sunday morning Ivy and I went to our church for the first time since she was born (she is now two weeks old). Everyone was excited to have a baby at church again.....(apparently it has been a while since there has been a baby there) and Ivy wore her new dress Gamma made. She slept through church as well....
