Passion

Last night, Caleb had a double header in Aztec so I hauled the girls out there and got to watch the first game. And what I saw was nothing short of amazing. Caleb has dedicated the past year to playing baseball. He earned money all last summer umpiring games and chose to spend his earnings on a baseball camp/travel team.  He did that for three months and then right after that he  wanted to do a winter program that Adam Morrissey puts on at the Strikezone for older boys. Caleb went to this camp three days a week and worked his butt off. They did drills, hit,  fielding, did P90X, yoga... hardcore training. I would go and watch him and be so proud of him for never giving up. I am still so proud of him for never giving up. He has passion for baseball. He loves it and just wants to keep getting better. So last night, I saw nothing but everything this kid has worked for. He pitched his heart out. He hit great, and he was the best team player. He never got down when things didnt go well for a while, he stayed strong and kept giving it everything he had. That made both Mitch and I so proud. As a parent, all you want is the best for your kids and for them to succeed at what they desire in life. This was one of those moments for me. I know how much Caleb has worked and I wanted him to see all that sacrifice pay off. I am so happy for him:)
