Back Again!

Promise to start posting again!  It's been too long!  The kids at Christmas (-1 who was working).  Left to right - daughter, son, daughter in law, daughter, son.

Let's Not Forget the Boy

Yes, we've done some things besides softball so far this summer.  We've started the college visits.  Only two, but it's a start.  We've looked at Lycoming and York.  He wants to try to wrestle so we've been looking at one's that have sent letters and so far he's liked York.  We are also filling out recruiting forms so hopefully he will hear from some more.

He also did wrestling camp at Rutgers with his team.  Being still unemployed I was lucky enough to go and spend my birthday watching him and his team wrestle.  Doesn't sound like fun?  I loved it!

Rutgers Camp

57 Games of 10U Softball Later We Are Done (For Now)

Until Fall Ball. So in order to show that I have taken pictures the last several months - here are some from softball.

From the end of Spring Pizza Party.

1st Place - School's Out Sparta Tournament

Districts - we didn't place.

Regular season game v. Roxbury.

Summer Season Championship Game - We came in 2nd.

 Weather doesn't look so good!

 Smiles and trophies for 2nd place.

I forgot to mention . . .

my stepson married his beautiful bride and I got to be second shooter. I don't think I would ever want to be first shooter.

2 June - Beautiful Day

It was gorgeous here in NJ after having hot, hot, humid days. Took a walk down to the lake this morning and brought the camera along.

7 April - Let's Catch Up on Two Months!

Last time I posted it was almost Valentine's Day. Katie had a really great party at school.

But as you know, my son is a high school wrestler and that takes up most of our time until after the 1st weekend of March - which if you follow wrestling, you know that's the High School States in Atlantic City. And this year we went all the way until then, because he "Made it to Ayee Cee!"

He was 2nd in Districts which the top three got to Regions. He was 3rd in Regions and the top three from each weight class go to Atlantic City. Never did a 3rd Place win feel so good!



Being interviewed by the Star Ledger.



He had the headline



Win #83 - Pinning the #1 seed -



Win #85 & His Ticket To States - he was tired after wrestling 4 matches that day because he had lost in the first round and had to wrestle back



Made my daughter and the cousins shirts to wear in AC






A Dream Come True



Hug for Luck



Match Time






He ended up losing on Friday night, so he was done. With 5 seconds left he had his opponent in a headlock but time ran out. That wrestler placed 8th in the state. So when you lose and are done - this is what you do after 3 months of cutting weight for wrestling
