As our grandsons' football seasons have almost come to an end (as of this moment, Abram's 4th-grade football team is still in the playoffs)...

Seventeen high school football seasons have come and gone since we spent our Friday nights under the lights.

On July 9, my nephew Wyatt Langford's world changed forever. His childhood dream of playing major league baseball came true!

Meet my baseball-star-nephew Wyatt.

Rounding out so many summer evenings watching 7 of our grandchildren compete on the diamonds, our 10-year-old twin granddaughters Kassie and Kelsey had plenty of fun playing on the majors softball league team Bomb Squad.

Our only true little leaguer this summer was Abram, who played on the Harrison Junior Baseball 9U team.

As you have probably figured out, we spent lots of fun days and evenings at various ballparks this year, from t-ball diamonds all the way up to college stadiums.

Our 7-year-old Lucy made her softball debut this summer in her hometown Harrison, Ohio league.

Our grandson Koda, who just finished kindergarten, played PeeWee baseball this summer.

Our youngest grandson Daniel, who just turned 5, made his baseball debut this summer playing in his hometown Harrison, Ohio's league.
