Play ball!!

The baseball season is in full swing up at the base again. Hooray! It's been a long winter waiting for the season to start; especially for Tim.

Timothy has moved up to the minors league this year. This means that he no longer hits off a tee, but the coaches pitch to the kids. He's been training for this for a few years now, and is really ready for this level of play.So far, he's done really well. He tends to hit the first pitch that comes to him, and as our resident lefty, he often hits somewhere between 1st and 2nd base. Here's one of Tim's first hits of the season:



Maddie is old enough this year to join the Pee-Wee league which plays tee-ball. Daddy is coaching her team, just like he did for Tim last year. She really seems to enjoy fetching grounders, running the bases, and swinging for that ball! But her favorite part about playing might just be getting to wear the uniform. She is always very excited to put that on!
(Don't you just love her pink glove?)

So far, the weather has been cooperative about half of the time. Games were rained out one weekend, but we had gorgeous baseball weather the other two weekends. Let's hope it can continue!

So great! Good for Tim! Micah is doing t-ball this year with Silas...the only way we got him to do it is by putting them together! (dramatic sigh!) But, the one great thing? Micah gets to wear a blue shirt (his fave color) and Silas gets to wear red (his fave color)....All are happy! Thanks for sharing this!!!

That last picture is so adorable. And I do like the pink glove.
