Carl "Pavano" Koch

I played baseball today with Carl on "Koch Field" while Abe was taking a nap. Carl was the pitcher and I was the batter. Here's a little bit of how it went...

Pitch #1 - Nice pitch but I swing and miss, Carl yells "Strike Ten!"

Pitch #2 - At least 12 feet over my head and I don't even swing, Carl says, "Mom, you hafta keep your eye on the ball!"

Pitch #3 - Way behind me and I half attempt to turn and swing backwards but really I had no chance, Carl yells out, "Mom, you gotta be ready when I pitch the ball!"

Pitch #4 - Decent pitch but I swing and miss, Carl says, "Maybe we can give you a treat after dinner tonight if you hit one of these balls."

Pitch #5 - Not the greatest pitch but I do swing and finally I make a hit! Carl runs up and gives me a great big hug!

I love this kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's All for Now Folks!

I am hanging up my blogging hat for awhile. I really wanted to get Abe's first year documented and am happy to have accomplished that. I hope that the boys can look back on this as adults and read about some of the happenings in their early life. Maybe I'll start up again after I get up to date on their photo memory books! Ciao!
