Play Ball

So I know I have been a blog phantom,. This is due in part the obscene amount of baseball games that we have been attending over the last few months. Jesse loves baseball. But in a good, healthy way - not a sit on the couch eating Cheetos and watching games day and night from March through October and avoiding all human contact kind of way. It is inevitable that our boys will also love the game to some degree. Jesse has coached our boys for four years now, and this year Christian and William were able to play on the same team. William was good enough to skip T-ball this year, and since Jesse was the coach, the league let us move him up.

I don't think they were excited to get their trophies.

Even though he was the youngest on the team, William could really hit! During one game he broke his wood bat in half and got a triple.

Nice form Christian. He never struck out, and was the lead batter.

During the regular season our team was the Cubs. The team improved so much during the year, due in large part to Jesse's amazing patience for kids with the attention span of a flea. Near the end of the season both the boys tried out for the All-Star team and made it. They decided to make three teams and so they asked Jesse to coach one of them. This is where it got a bit crazy. That first week we had practice every morning from 8-10 and then on the weekend they had a least one game a day, but mostly it was double headers. The final tournament ended on July 3rd. There were some great moments and some eye opening ones. Samuel and I had a great time watching all the games and cheering on our boys. Thanks to all our family the came to cheer with us as well.

Adieu until next season.
