Weekly Photo Challenge: Celebration

When this challenge came up, it was really easy to decide what I was going to feature.  A big part of the reason my writing to this blog slowed down over the summer was in the picture above.  My oldest daughter plays softball.  This photo was taken after her team achieved their first ranking in a tournament.  I could tell you a great story about how they took first place, but if you note the girl in the second row with two fingers.  That isn’t a peace symbol, it is her pride in taking second place overall in the tournament.  She is also my daughter.

The girls played hard all season, but this time was probably the biggest moment for them all and it showed on all of their faces.  It showed on my face too, but hey someone has to be behind the camera to take the shot…of course no celebrating team is complete without its share of proud parent paparazzi too, so here is a bonus picture of the other side of this photo…this is how we parents celebrate…we fill up photo albums of these precious moments

Focus is Turning

I suppose some of you might have noticed a bit of a lapse in my posting here over the last several days.  I offer sincere apologies to that.  I also offer advance apologies if my posts in the coming weeks turn to the pastime of my oldest daughter frequently.  My daughter plays competitive softball, and while the weather hasn’t seemed to note the change of seasons, spring is the time when the family and I shift a good deal of our collective attention to the softball field.

This season is certainly no exception.  In addition to being a super fan of the team she plays for, I am the unofficial photographer, and the bit more official designer, and web-master of the their website.  That tends to keep me pretty busy during the season.  If you would like to check out my handiwork, please feel free to head on over there.

Don’t be surprised if I happen to share some of my work from over there on this blog from time to time.  I am very proud of her, and any proud father has to share these things as often as possible.

Well it’s that time of year again.  My daughter’s softball team is going all out in their annual fund-raising event.  This year the sales are particularly sweet.  Check out the story at the link below.

Of course if you feel like donating to the cause, please let me know, and I am sure we can work something out<grin>.
