Welcome to RodandTara.com!

Baseball season is officially over in our household, and it didn't necessarily end the way either Tyler or Samantha wanted it to. In Sam's case, she just missed making the all-star team, and she was pretty bummed out about that. I told her if she works hard at it, next year will be her year. Tyler ended the season on a high note individually (he hit a sweet double!), but his team lost their tiebreaker game by 6-4 score, eliminating them from the playoffs. Although the kids were wishing the season could last a little longer, Tara and I are certainly looking forward to a break from spending 3-4 nights a week at the ball fields (not that we would have minded attending an all-star or playoff game, mind you).

For now we are in waiting mode... waiting for the next sports season, mainly. Tyler will be playing tackle football again next season, although he will be a level higher than he was the past two seasons. Sam wanted to play tackle football too, but Tara and I couldn't stand to see her give up on soccer as she seems to have potential there. We talked her into sticking with soccer, but she is also going to try her hand at football as well - flag football for this season. That should keep us busy during the week once all that starts up!

We are also waiting for our camping season to get underway. We will be heading to Traverse City soon, so remember to check back often for pictures of our trip.

I only have one update this time around, and it is of Tyler's final baseball game this year. The pictures can be found on the Current Events page by clicking on Tyler's Baseball and looking for the 'new' icon.
