In Spring 2010, Tim and I (heavily pregnant) were sitting in our birthing class, full of anticipation as we prepared to make our family of two into a family of three. I fully remember our instructor, by way of an icebreaker, asking all of us in the class to share which activities we were most looking forward to doing with our children in the future. I remember the excitement on Tim's face as he answered, "Baseball. I can't wait to watch my son play baseball."
So it was heartbreaking when we got Will's diagnosis of Sanfilippo Syndrome and realized that t-ball and Little League might not be in Will's future.
Fortunately, just a few weeks ago, I came across Miracle League Houston an adaptive sports program which allows special needs children to experience the joy and benefits that come from being part of a team. We were overjoyed; Will was going to get to play baseball!
Today Will got to get his first baseball uniform and got to practice on the amazing J.E. and L.E. Mabee Adaptive Sports Complex, Houston’s first Adaptive Sports Complex. We are so excited that he gets to participate in this and show his WILLPower out on the field!
Here's the newest member of the Houston Miracle League's Cubs!
Number 3 is ready to play! Let's go!

Little Sister even got in on the action!

We can't wait to share the rest of baseball season,
