Baseball Dad

.

Jon has a love for the game of baseball. One of our first dates was a road trip to see the St. Louis Cardinals with the Broken Arrow church singles group. We have spent more than a few anniversaries at ballparks. Caleb and Abigail have both played recreation ball since they were four years old! On weeks that we don't have ball games or we get rained out Jon takes the kids to Extra Innings for batting practice.

.

As big a part as baseball plays in our life you would expect Caleb to have some baseball great's name. In fact when I was pregnant and the child was to be a boy, lots of fun names were thrown around. My favorite was Jon's suggestion that we name him 'Later.' Because every great baseball trade includes the phrase, '. . . was traded for a player to be named Later.'

Ask me one day what he wanted to name Abigail!
