10U All Stars! District Champions!!!

Annie is playing for the 10U Creeks All Stars. This weekend they went undefeated to win the District Championship!!!! The team played fabulous! They did not let one run get by during their last 2 games. 12 innings without being scored on! Can you believe that. Annie had been in a little bit of a batting slump during their last tournament, but not for this one. Her bat was alive!!! The coach bought a brand new (expensive) bat for his daughter. They let Annie use it during this tournament. Of course she thinks it is all the bat and cannot stop talking about it. We may try to paint one of her old bats and tell her we bought the same bat. The tournament was a lot of fun. The group of girls, coaches and parents that make up this team are all wonderful. Even Lucy and Charlie are enjoying playing with all of the siblings. Now the team will travel south to compete in the State tournament on July 12th.

Memorial Day Weekend & Special Visitors

We had a busy, but fun Memorial Day Weekend. Annie is playing with the 10U Creeks All Star team, and they had their first tournament this weekend. David and Sarah got up at 5am (in Atlanta) on Saturday, and managed to get to Annie's first game here in Jax, at 12noon. No speeding tickets either! A few other weekend highights - Annie went to the Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert on Sunday night. We had a family cookout Saturday night, and celebrated a belated birthday for Uncle David (35 yrs old by the way). David, Sarah, Poppy, and Grammy took Lucy and Charlie to the Beach on Monday, and Laura and I went to the Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert on Monday night (yes they played two nights in Jax). Here's a few pics from the weekend!

Charlie, The Graduate

Yes...it has happend...another Glover graduates! Charlie graduated this month, with all the rights and priviledges thereunto this diploma implies...ok, ok, it is just from Pre-K, but it is exciting nonetheless. In a few short months, Charlie will start Kindergarten. Check out that diploma in his hand and the medal around his neck - is he happy or what?

"Girl on the Run"

Since Feb06, Annie has been participating in an after school program called "Girls on the Run". About 8-12 girls meet twice a week with volunteer coaches (two great moms!). The goal of the program is to train for a 5k - all the while learning about nutrition/exercise, and having fun with your team. Good stuff! That 5k (3 mile run) was held a couple of Saturday's ago, on a windy day at the beach. Annie ran with her friend Brooke, and Brooke's mom - Tammy...and they all did a great job and had a blast with her friends.

Robot Time-Poppy Style

Each child in Charlie's pre-K class had to build a "robot" as part of an assignment. Charlie and Poppy worked hard on this creation Saturday afternoon, and as you can see, the results were...well...awesome! To quote Poppy, "It's not really a robot unless it has a way to move around."

Charlie Boy

Charlie at a field trip w/ his pre-k class. Believe it or not, our boy starts kindergarten 8/4/06!

Poppy was in charge of them for this 1st picture!
Laura was in charge for this one!

We don't know why there was a difference?

Annie Softball Update

Annie is having a lot of fun playing softball this spring with Creeks Softball. She plays on the 10-U "Mustangs", mainly plays first base, and has tried her hand at pitcher. More importantly than her skill, we are very proud of the way she carries herself on and off the field. She is a sweet girl, a good student, and cares a lot about her friends and teammates. Probably her biggest challenge is the fact that her dad (me) is the assistant coach for the team. I'm too hard on her at times, but we've had a lot of fun learning together.
