putting the twinkle back in the diamond

today i started softball camp. when i was 10 i started going to this camp that was run by, who would end up being, my high school softball coach. since 8th grade i've been working as a counselor at this camp. this year is the first year that i am a co director at this camp. my high school coach has taken over the management side of things while i've taken over the teaching and demonstrating side of the camp. i was SUPER nervous before today started but now that i have the first day under my belt i'm starting to relax a little. i want to be a teacher some day soon but this is my first real time that i'll be in charge of a group of kids. today went well and i'm hoping the rest of the week does too. hopefully i'll have some pics to show you the kids!

isssssssssss-aaaaaaaaaa-bela, isabela, isabela!

unfortunately, i have some bad news to report......my niece, isabela, has left new jersey. she was here for two whole weeks and it was the BEST. she's just the cutest! and of course michele was here to visit as well! hehe! it was great, we hung out by the pool went to cape may, ate LOTS of ice cream, went to the ocean for isabela's first time, sang silly songs, played baby games, and most importantly we spent TONS AND TONS of time together! it was great to have her here and i'm sad that she had to go back home today. but we will skype lots so she doesn't forget us! isabela if you've reading this i miss you already so so so so so so so much!!!!!!!
