May 26

Brady's freshman baseball season came to a true close tonight with the baseball banquet.

Although one of the parents did an excellent job of  putting together our team slideshow and I enjoyed watching it, the real gift of the evening was when we were leaving and one of the parents handed Brady these.

They're a full set of double-sided baseball cards, featuring every member of the team. 

Kim and Jim had no obligation to create and give the boys this kind of souvenir, but they did it anyway. And the cards are absolutely beautiful. 

So tonight, I'm thankful for thoughtful people who give unexpected, meaningful gifts to my kids.
