America's Greatest Past Time

That's right people... it is BASEBALL and SOFTBALL season!!!!

This is last years photos, but you get the idea! Miss Spitfire ( holding the banner in the pink jacket) will be playing her 2nd year in softball and Wild Man will be playing his first year in Baseball!

Yes he was wearing snow boots with his Baseball gear last year LOL, but this year he is in tune with the appropriate gear, hehe! He has had 2 practices so far and he LOVES it! He is into batting, fielding and running the bases! I was super nervous about him playing this year, only because he is so young ( he will be 4 in May)! He is listening to the Coach ( my wonderful brother in law) and is enjoying being around all boys! We do have 2 girls on the team, but he doesn't mind them at all, he is too busy with practicing to pay attention to the girls :) So far it's going well!

This will be our first year in 3 years of baseball/softball season that I will have 2 kids in 2 different townships playing though. I am a little worried about missing someone's practice or game, but I know it will have to happen a couple of times. It's not that they will be left there without a parent or grandparent ( someone will always be there), it's the fact I don't ever remember a time when my Mom wasn't at one of my sports functions and I want my kids to have the same memory with me. I know whatever game or practice I happen to miss, will be the one where they do something fantastic and I will feel sad for missing their big moment! So with the excitement that the seasons have started I am just a little worried about being in 2 places at once! It will work out though, I know it will!

Yay, for spring! Yay, for ball!! Yay, for making new friends!!! Yay, for making new memories!!!! I can't wait for opening days! PLAY BALL...
