Play Ball!

Saturday was Caleb's first tee ball game of the season, and boy was it exciting for all of us. Patrick has volunteered to help coach this season. Although he enjoys it a lot, it's been a huge time commitment. So this will likely be his only season coaching.

Team pictures were this week. So I had the chance to grab a quick photo of everyone.

Caleb is the lead off batter and showed why. He had three great hits to shallow right field. But more important than that is the confidence with which he played!

Look at that form and that precious face!

On the field, the players switched up their positions each inning. He had the chance to play first base for the first time and played well. His accuracy in throwing has improved dramatically, which is quite remarkable because he throws with his affected arm. We are so proud of just how far he's come in such a short while. And he looked simply handsome in his Spring ball uniform.

The kids had some down time between team photos and their game. So they naturally played on the playground the entire time. Madeline enjoyed going down the slides and playing with Emily, making "cakes" and "salad" with all the mulch. Caleb, of course, played "tag" with all the boys and paused for just a second so I could snap his photo.

Madeline has been gearing up for her birthday this Saturday by "practicing" blowing out her candles. She really doesn't need any practice after blowing out her brother's, but you can't tell her that. Lol. It's hard to believe she'll be three years old. In the first photo we saw of her, she was only 19 months old. That seems so long ago. She's growing up so fast!
