“A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.” We’ve been blessed with a silver lining during the pandemic ... Mila’s being promoted to big sister in January 2021! 🌈👶🏻❤️
Remember WHY you started playing the game - b/c you LOVED it! It wasn’t about the stats, the wins, or being recruited. Play for that little girl who picked up a bat & decided to swing for the fences! I could seriously watch this a million times & smile big every, single, time!❤️
Mila Jean started back to practicing softball today. This kid cracks me up! She watches our
@PurdueSoftball
Boilermakers every move, even how they look at their signal cards! ❤️ (Side note, she picked “The Bad Eggs” as her imaginary team today! … Volume on! 😂)
When we arrived at
@UCF_Softball
I thought it was odd that the stadium sign read “Beware of Flying Objects” & not “Beware of Foul Balls” … but the sign makes so much more sense now! Welcome to Florida! 🦜🤣

Welcome to the world Nora Beth De Oliveira!
🗣There is major value in being able to lay down a good bunt at any time ... SAC, bunt for hit, squeeze, push ... I ❤️ them all! Hitters - develop your short-game too! Make yourself harder to defend & give your team more options on how to manufacture runs!

Winter Camp! Roster is filling fast & will close once full-Register at ! (Mila is 5 yrs old & asked to start pitching. She is 3 days in with simple FUNdamentals, “Up, down, & around!”)
Don’t get me wrong, I ❤️ seeing a home run as much as
@PurdueCoachD
does, but I get just as excited to see a quick bunt, SAC, or squeeze executed on the first attempt!
As we drove by

Mila Jean lost her 2nd front tooth last night & couldn’t look any cuter!!! She left her blind cracked so she could “see the sparkle from the Tooth Fairy when she visits”! I hope she never loses her sense of wonder. 🧚♀️🦷💰
