To say that we're in the thick of baseball season would be an accurate statement. Between Isaac and Brady it's go, go, go more often than it isn't.

With that said, Brady was actually slated to have a rare day off and had settled in playing a video game at the dining room table after school. But then I received an eleventh hour text from his Intermediates coach explaining that one of the boys scheduled to play in tonight's House game was injured and would Brady like to play after all? And of course he did. It took him about two minutes to change into his uniform and then we were off.

Since it was a House game (versus a Gold game), the competition wasn't as stiff as it could've been, so Brady's team came away with an 11-1 mercy rule-dictated win. He batted second in the order and went 3 for 3, with two singles and a double that narrowly missed leaving the ballpark.

Although I'd been looking forward to date night with Adam, I was happy to sit and watch Brady play. I know these days will pass quickly so I'm grateful for the opportunity to soak up the moments as they come.
