In Alex's second year of softball (when she was 7), she was on a team with Abby. We didn't know Abby at the time but we knew who she was. We knew who she was because I had gone to high school with her dad, Chris, and because my brother goes to church where her dad is the preacher. Over time, we began going to church there, too. When it came time for them to move up a league into kid pitch, we were able to keep them on the same team and added Hannah. And Chris was the coach - preacher/coach/clipboard thrower/clipboard breaker. He is one of Alex's all-time favorite coaches but she can never, ever, under any circumstance let him know that. Sometimes she slips and says it out loud but lucky for her he has not been around to hear it. Over the years these girls have played with and against each other in basketball and softball so I have lots of these pictures. Unfortunately, these are the only ones I can find right now. They all three made the all-county basketball team, they played all-star softball together, and now they are playing softball against each other at their middle schools. And Chris is coaching Hannah and Abby - not Alex :'( - but we still got the picture!
I hope I can keep adding to this collection of pictures with these three sweet girls. And Chris.
