Baseball times 2

Baseball season 2011 has officially begun! This year we have 2 boys playing ball. Elijah is trying something new this year, Rams Club Tournament Ball. He LOVES it. We are learning as we go with this level of ball. You have to be seriously committed to baseball to survive this level. We literally have 1 night a week that is NOT baseball related. The tournament weekends also take up Friday night all day Saturday AND all day Sunday which means Mommy goes to church with the kiddos and Scott takes Elijah to the ball park. It is a lot of baseball and honestly I am not sure we would have started this level of ball at this age. Especially since this is the first year Samuel is playing. But, here we are and Lij is loving every minute of it so that makes all the craziness worth it to know we do not have to fight him to practice and play. Last night Sam had his 2nd game and Lij had practice. The mere suggestion of Lij skipping practice to attend Sam's game sent him in to a panic! So divide and conquer was the name of the game. I took Amaris and Burrito to Lij's practice and Scott took Madison with him to Sam's game. We froze our tails off but had lots of fun!
Sadly, because of all my commitments through Dropz of hope and then Elijah's practice schedule I have missed ALL of Sam's baseball so far. And I will miss almost the entire first tournament weekend for Lij. I was super bummed out to miss Sambo's first game and even more bummed out when I heard the recap of his 2nd game! Turns out he LOVES baseball too, who would have ever guessed?? He never struck any of us the baseball playing type of boy. I am excited and pleasantly surprised at his enthusiasm and he is doing very well for a first time player!
Let the season begin, let it be kind to all of us and please let us all still love baseball and each other when its over!
pictures coming soon!
