Well . . . it wasn't our intention and certainly wasn't in the plan to go looking for a new team. Sometimes, God brings about things regardless if we are ready for them or not.
Bo has played with this group of boys for two years now. Great group of kids, nice families, been real easy to sit and enjoy tournaments with these people.
There Bo is, in all his glory, in those hideous pants!
In my last post, I mentioned that we played in a charity baseball tournament with the Wichita All American Athletics. Nice bunch of people, great group of boys with alot of baseball talent. They asked Bo if he ever thought of playing for another team and he quickly responded, "No."
We then started talking about alot of things that go into playing competitive baseball, how it affects Bo, the family as a whole, and his future in regards to high school baseball.
Long talks, late nights, losing sleep - this was us last week, trying to determine if we wanted to leave the Storm and head to the A's. Bo ultimately made the decision and you'll now see him wearing this uniform.
He already has a good buddy on this team so that makes it easier to step into a group of new team mates. It was hard to tell the Storm families that we wouldn't be returning to the team. It's amazing though, you throw yourself into the team, the families, and the game, and you only get one family wishing you well. I am sad at the response. But, my child comes first and this is the right decision.
I've always told these people that we would be upfront and honest with them if we ever chose to leave. That's what we've done. It's still dissappointing.
Thank you, friends, for letting me share. I am happy for my son but sad that I thought I had made some good friends and didn't realize those friendships ended with the change of a team.
