Express

Carter had his last baseball game of the season for the Express tonight.  He improved so much this year and really put his heart and soul into baseball.  I am so proud of how much he accomplished this year!

Nice hit to the outfield:

Thumbs up for Mom (my camera was just a little slow):

Nice slide - he was safe!

Scooping up the ball to make a nice play as pitcher:

I love the look of concentration and determination he gets on his face:

Carter was so excited to have Evan has the third base coach tonight:

Proud to cross the plate and score a run!

End of the year talk from Coach Joe:

Lacrosse

Ryan had a lacrosse game against Andover last night.  His team has a lot of work to do, but Ryan has improved so much since he started.  He is very aggressive on the field and does not shy away from anyone.  I am proud of how hard he plays - he gives it everything he's got every game!!

Instagram

Time for another Instagram dump:

Carter had a rainbow over his baseball field for good luck:

Carter's last speech session with his therapist, Alysse.  We are going to miss her!!!  He has officially graduated from the disfluency program.  He is now undergoing a myofascial therapy, designed to strengthen his tongue muscles from being tongue tied at birth:

Beth and I were so happy to arrive in Bath and so sad to leave!

Beth took this picture of me sitting in the windowsill in their flat:

Ryan attended safety camp at the fire station last week.  He had so much fun!!!

Carter warming up before his baseball game.  He loves the new catching mitt his Dad bought him!

He does such a great job catching.  His coach loves it when he catches because he doesn't have to retrieve the balls - Carter is able to stop all of them! :)

I came home from the carnival last night in the most amazing lightning storm.  The sky was beautiful!

Hinckley Carnival

We had a very short (24 hour) trip up north to take in the Hinckley Carnival.  The boys had armbands to ride unlimited rides yesterday afternoon.  They had a great time...until Ryan got sick from the rides.  He only made it a little over an hour and he went back to Grandma's to take it easy (thankfully he felt better by evening).  Carter and I spent the next several hours on the rides and of course, taking in the carnival food! :)

They were just a little excited to go on the Gravitron:
