Whew! We have finally played baseball. Paxton's team has played two games and I'm sorry to report is 0-2. Parker had his first game today and he played well. He played at 3rd and SS - and had a great hit and made an awesome stop at SS and threw the runner out at first. I wasn't there to see it - I am helping out the rec department, keeping score at the complex, so I had to leave early. I did see the hit right before I left though. Paxton's team is still working out some kinks, but hopefully they will get their game on and win some games.

Randy and I continue to work hard every day and spend as much time with the boys as possible. We love doing things together, but that is becoming more difficult now that we have a teenager in the house; he wants to hang more with his friends than us - but that is what he should do. He has a good group of friends - one in the neighborhood and several good friends at school.

Mama is visiting (she came for the baseball), and Mary and her boys were here this past weekend. Hopefully Sallie and her crew can visit soon. We haven't been "home" since Christmas, but will definitely be going home soon - the Cusseta BBQ is in May so I know we will make it for that!

We have a busy weekend coming up with our Easter cantata Saturday night, and our choir is singing in both services on Sunday morning.

Have a wonderful, restful weekend!

Baseball is Underway

We hope you have all had a good weekend. Paxton opened his baseball season on Saturday. Although his team did not win, he played well. He is playing second base for the "Braves". Parker will finally have his first b-team game this Thursday at home. We are excited for his season to finally begin. If you'd like to see Paxton's schedule, keep checking at http://www.becrd.com/, click on "programs". The 2008 schedules should be posted soon. Paxton is playing in the 11-12 boys baseball. Parker's schedule can be found at http://www.sgawarriors.com/; then click on the baseball schedule.

Mary and her boys came for a visit this weekend - even Hudson, the college student. We were so glad to have them here and hope Sallie and her crew can come soon. Mama is coming on Thursday and it will be good to see her, too. She hasn't been able to come visit since her fall in November, but she is all healed, her ankle is better than ever, so she is ready to hit the road.

Have a good week and I will post again after baseball.

Another week . . .

We have almost completed another busy week. Saturday was a blast at the derby race. Paxton's car came in 4th in each of his heats, but he had a consistent time of 2.17 seconds, which equals 211.7 MPH. They have the technology now to not only time the speed of your car, but convert it to MPH. And believe me, it's hard to take a picture of a car going 211 MPH!!

Parker's baseball double header was cancelled due to rain, so he has yet to actually play a game, but has been practicing everyday this week - batting practing on the days the varsity has games, and full practice on the other days. The varsity team is off to a 2-0 record. Paxton has opening day on Saturday; his team is the "Braves" and they are sponsoroed by my employer, Early County Gin.

Not much else has been going on other than work, school, and extra activities. I have been helping out in Mission Friends on Wednesday nights - and that leaves me exhausted! I'll post a picture of the little angels soon. Let me just say, they are a vocal bunch!

March 7 - Happy Friday!

Hi - it's Friday and we are ready for Parker's opening baseball game tomorrow. Paxton has the State RA Derby Race in Tifton then he and I will head to Dawson to catch Parker's second game. It has rained a good bit here this week, for which we are grateful. All our streams and ponds are filling back up. The time changes this weekend, for which I am NOT grateful. I have begun to love my sleep on the weekend entirely too much.

News from "home" has been sad this week with the murder of an AU student and the death of one our doctor friends. He was a few years older than Sallie and has a sister that was a close friend of hers during high school. Family is well and busy and the two college boys, I assume, are doing ok, too. I don't keep up with them as I should, but am always thinking of them and hope they are safe and happy.

Have a good weekend!

March 1

Happy Saturday! If you are checking out our blog for the first time, "Howdy".

We are enjoying a rare Saturday at home, so Randy had us trimming shrubs - but they really needed it. We all pitched in and got the job done in no time. One of our neighbor friends even came and helped us out! Thanks, Skyler. He is one of Parker and Paxton's buddies - we live in a great neighborhood! Another of our "other brothers", Jay, is here now hanging out with Paxton. It's nice to enjoy the day at home.

Welcome!

Welcome to our Family Blog!

We hope this will become a convenient way to keep up with The A-dams Fam-i-ly. Currently, we are in between basketball and baseball - a nice two week reprieve from busy-ness.

Parker is playing B-team baseball, with the possibility of Varsity - there are four open spots on the team. Paxton will be playing recreation league baseball. Randy will be coaching Paxton's team and I will be roaming back and forth between two baseball fields.

More exciting news later.
