It was windy today, we ended up getting our games in. Mom, Grandma, and Kacy came it was nice to see them and have them there. We lost both our games but shouldn't have. I hit well but struggled a little bit defensively. Right now we have somewhat hit a bump in the road with our team, but we can only improve. Last week I was really struggling with putting all that together and dealing with all the shortcomings we have as players and teamates. This week life has once more been put into better perspective. There are more important things in life than whether or not we win everygame we play. There are heftier issues than those discussed at a pulled together team meeting. There are bigger problems faced then whether or not some one did or did not do something. Life is good because it's life, because you see, and interact, and love, because you are. Life is full of obstacles but it is how we choose to overcome them that determines our strength. I saw pictures of Sawyer today. He is so tiny yet still so perfect. While I can't see too much underneath all the tubes and wires, it really doesn't matter because I know he is under there, I know he is there and right now that's really all that matters to me. The doctors already saw some improvement today which is always good, he is a fighter. Mom and Grandma went to meet him today they said he looks really good just little, like a baby doll. I am hoping to go up sometime in the next week, while I know it will be hard to see him for the first time I know it will be reliving to actually see that he is here. In the meantime please continue to pray for him as he faces each new day.

Carrie--Thank you so much for all the inspiring and wonderful things you have been writing about our baby boy. You are right--Sawyer is a fighter. He is strong, and he has so much love in his life already, at only a few days old. He has people praying for him all over the world, and some of them don't even know us . . .they have just been touched by his story. Keep up the faith and the prayers, because they are working! God is working miracles through this little guy every day, and we know that his life will change and impact people for a very long time to come.
Love you!
Amy and Jim
