Well, we finally did it. We have followed everyone else in the world and decided to start "blogging". After many attempts of trying to send weekly or monthly e-mails to family and friends to update them about our family, we took the final leap. Here it goes!
The month of May has been a whirlwind. Spring is synonymus with baseball at our house. This year we will have 4 boys playing on 3 teams. Danny, #8, is on the LA Dodgers, a Kid Pitch team. Jake, # 11, and Aaron, #2, are on the Seattle Mariner's Coach Pitch team. Lastly, Caleb, #5, is on the Royal Sox T-ball team. We basically live at the ballpark during the week. We love once the game starts. It is a bit crazy trying to get everyone out the door on time.
It is really fun to see Danny play pitcher on his team and watch him grow in this capacity. He seems to do really well under pressure! He also plays a pretty mean shortstop and outfielder as well. So far this season his team is undefeated. They have played 4 games and have 6 to go.
Jake and Aaron are enjoying playing together on their team as well. It is really fun to see how they have grown up since last season. Jake continues to develop his skills. He is becoming quite an accomplished first baseman. He is so easy going and tends to learn things at his own pace. He doesn't sweat the small stuff and get so excited when he completes a good play. Aaron continues to play really well. He is a natural.
Caleb is quite entertaining on the field! Despite repeated practices teaching him to run to first, he ran straight to third base on his first hit. His second attempt, he ran to first and then halfway to second decided that he had plenty of time to reach the base so he proceeded to drag his feet the rest of the way. Which resulted in an out. Did this bother Caleb? No. He loves playing with the other kids in the dugout. He also likes his dad being the Coach.
Meanwhile in the bleachers, Mom and the girls cheer all the boys on at the games. Most recently, Clarissa and Abby have found that dirt is quite enjoyable.
