Katelynn’s clearly her father’s daughter, because my softball experience was limited to dancing around in the outfield, kicking the dirt with my cleats. The only reason I played was for the chance to visit the concession stand. (They had fountain Cheerwine and crushed ice!) Nick was always good at any sport he tried, and thankfully K-dawg seems to be following after him. Folks around here are serious about their rec sports…to the point the coach had to send an email to all the parents that said, “to refrain from any negative comments towards your daughter during the game.” Um…what? See? Crazy. These parents are crazy. My biggest concern is whether or not she’s wearing sunscreen and if her hairbow matches. 
Here she is, sporting her exceptionally cool new uniform. She looks so grown up!
In the first game of today’s tournament she had a double, a single, and then a triple to win the game! They won 19-3. Go, K-Dawg!
For the record, we think a lot alike!
First of all, fountain Cheerwine with crushed ice would have been enough to have gotten me to participate in something athletic, too. Oh, and matching hairbow is excpetionally important. 
So proud of Katelynn, though!! That’s awesome!! Glad she’s loving ball, and doing so well! Love you and miss you!

it’s a “heart guard.” we didn’t wear those, or face masks, or shin guards when i played. and i don’t think we even had face masks on our helmets. apparently we were dangerous! (and our parents were less broke!)
