batting average

Today, while sitting in the waiting room at the clinic,  I explained the concept of a batting average to Isaiah for the first time.  That has to be one of the top 5 classic dad/son conversations.  I remember learning the concept from my dad.  My only hesitation was the concern that in introducing the idea I was somehow robbing him of something of the simple joy he finds in baseball.  But he's beginning to notice and keep track of details much more this year, so I think, ultimately, it will be fun for him.

After two games he's batting .600.

I'm sure you were wondering.  I might just toss that out occasionally this season.

In other news...  His counts are way up at 2700 today.  Next week we've got a spinal tap - it's either our last or second-to-last, depending on how they treat the last month of treatment (July).  Can hardly believe we're using the word "last" in reference to his treatment.

Here are some of the great pictures Isaiah's godfather, Steve, took during a recent Sunday afternoon snow shoeing trip.


Thanks for checking-in!

Just an average 'Sunday snoeshoeing trip'. Looked like a beautiful day!

Way to go I-don't know much about batting averages, but I'm pretty sure that's a great one!

There was a point where we had to tell Ciera we were no longer keeping track of any of her stats-she quickly found us out and decided to just ignore our information. Logan on the other hand LOVES to hear all of his stats (basketball) and is consistently updating his. I'm thinking I will like it, a lot!

It was great to see you both out throwing last week!

Stay strong I!!

Have you taught him yet that "stealing" a base is a good thing? You never twice about these common phrases until you have to explain them to your child. Thanks for sharing Nate.

From a math teacher's perspective this is a great concept to develop early. Although when you are in a slump, the ability to calculate a low average is depressing, it is a vicious cycle.

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]buy mbt shoes[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt sneakers[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]MBT shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt shoes review[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sneakers[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt sneakers[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]MBT shoes[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]MBT shoes[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sandals[/URL][/B] work for some people.

More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]MBT shoes[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]buy mbt shoes[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt shoes review[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] on your lower joints.


Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]mbt sneakers[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] them.
