Batter Up!

What would summer be without baseball? (I'm sure Joseph would have a witty answer for that one.) We kicked the summer off at the ball fields two nights a week. Zac played his last year of T-ball. Part way through the season, they had the choice of using the tee or having it pitched to them. Next year it will be all coach pitch. Zac was thrilled, even though his team was the Angels, not the Braves. It was fun to watch him improve his skills this year. He is a smart player who really understands the game. Thanks to Uncle Chris and his cool camera, we caught our little leaguers in action.



Joseph was able to coach again this year. He loves baseball, which is where Zac gets it from. I think he loves it even more when the boys see him off the field and call him "coach."


Ally also decided to play this year. The pre-Kindergarten league is called Rookie League. They have a clinic for the first two weeks and then they play a few games. She was a delight to watch. She also improved her skills. It was great to see Zac and Ally practicing in the yard, getting pointers from Dad.

She insisted on having her hat down at all times, almost covering her eyes. I am surprised she could see.


I love this picture.

Aunt Emily, Uncle Chris, Grandma and Grandpa were on the sidelines to cheer them on. How cool to have your own fan section.

Brooklyn loved running around and occasionally paused to cheer her siblings on.

Sariah loved the social aspect of the ballpark, watching the games and chatting with whomever she sat by.

Sam was a trooper to be hauled around. He was only about one month old when the season started. He actually slept through most of the games. Just give him a few years and he'll be running the bases with the rest of them.
