...Are Followed By Baseball!!

Whew, baseball season started in April and by mid-May the craziness had officially begun. And I'm not exaggerating. It's been crazy. We're still 2 weeks from the end of the season and as much as I love baseball, I'm ready! With 3 boys going 3 different directions, plus a little one who gets towed from one thing to the next, we can all use a vacation soon.

All of the boys are really progressing this season, though, and are really becoming good players. C has been very impressive, in his first year of t-ball. In an age-group where most of the kids need to be told, pointed toward, directed, redirected, yelled at, cheered for, and practically walked to just get them to first base, C hits that ball and runs straight for the base as fast as he can, then rounds it and makes sure he shouldn't keep running. He's all business.
Playing 1st base!
Umm, there's no crying in baseball... but GO C!
Truly a boy after his father's heart, C loves being the catcher.
E has been playing with A as a coach and pretty much plays every position, though he likes first base and short stop best, I think.
E getting ready to bat.
And A pitching to him.
And W! He was asked to pitch a couple of games ago and has now pitched for 3 games. He needs a lot of practice, but it's been a great experience and he loves it.

Playing 3rd base.
 
And pitching! Which can give a mother a heart attack!
