Empty Nest Awaits!

Wow, we are just about three weeks from having an empty nest. While we still have lots of baseball ahead, gone are the days of me soaking baseball pants and scrubbing the orange dirt on the knees until my knuckles are raw! Rick and I are excited while at the same time, a bit sad. Our house, that has been so noisy for the last twenty three years, is now going to be silent, although peaceful.

Matt will be returning to Sam Houston State to pitch and study accounting, he is now a sophomore. Nate will be heading off to Butler Community College in Kansas, who has a very good baseball program. Rick and I will be heading north and south all spring, but it will be fun.

Matt had a great summer playing collegiate ball for the Kilgore Pumpjacks. Here is one of the photos that was in the paper this summer.

Nate signed this summer for the Mansfield News-Mirror with all of us there and his high school coach. He is excited and six hours is not too far away I guess. It just sounds long being in Kansas!

I will try to keep updated photos here of their games!
