Hopefully he has positive outside influence to help keep him pointed in the right direction.

I think he does have a positive 'inside' influence ~ his mother who is also his teacher/coach. She is the first female coach in that town's history for the boys baseball team. That is her life ~ baseball and her two sons and she wanted to be their coach. Her dream came true. Thank God.

Oh dear, I am a bit partial... I only posted the eldest' photo. The younger one is a junior in high school. So, they play baseball together and were able to go to the prom this year.

Is your nephew seeking a career in sports, Pam?
 
The boys had a baseball game ... yesterday and their team won. I hope they continue to play so well and perhaps win, "STATE". The team's photos were plastered all over Facebook. It's an exciting year; they have a good team and the first female coach for the boys baseball team. We are so very proud of my niece; she's doing a great job of coaching. She is a tough Chemistry teacher and an even tougher coach. 186510004_5469012333172211_5857998160707588210_n[1].jpg

Boys mother is in the back row; 3rd from left. I'm so proud of her and the team. Since they live in Central Texas... their games are being played around that area. Next game is in between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. A bit too far for us. The only way I'd go is if we were to go the day before (so, we'd be sure to be there for the game) and stay at a hotel. It would be great if there were flights from here to San Antonio; but, they oddly go around to Houston first which doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, good luck to my boys (great nephews) and of course, their team and coaches.
 
Great looking kids and I don't mean to be critical, but in the first picture at the dance, she looks older than a high school student. To me she does anyway. Does he hope to play pro ball someday?

I don't know the girl as I haven't been back home in a year and a half... and you are right, she looks older. It's all that makeup that they wear, I think. I just hope and pray that my Gilbert will stick to his studies. He has not mentioned pro ball; just college baseball. Thank you for replying, @Been There

Whew! I thought maybe my eyes were deceiving me. I agree that the makeup probably does add a few years.
But, really, an 18 year old boy with a girl looking like her and you expect him to keep his mind on his studies? I think maybe you have over expectations. (Just kidding.)

He is serious about his future plans. By the way, the girl is 17 and he's 18 years of age. Let's just hope and pray that Gilbert continues to be optimistic about studies. I just keep reminding myself that he will do well if he's 2nd in his class ... right now.

The girl is a junior in high school and lives in another town. They met at a softball game in her hometown. OK, I'm not defending my precious nephew any more. He's #1 in my eyes.

Correction, the gal is 16!
 
16? I would bet that if she would look like she does in the very first picture and go to a bar she could probably get served.
