Brendan is playing kid-pitch baseball now. He is on the team Detroit Tigers with a great group of friends. It is really fun watching how far they have come. The trick at this age is to try and get a hit when you are a bit frightened you might get hit with the ball. Nine and ten year old pitchers don't exactly have the best aim, especially not consistently! Brendan is hanging in there though and improving lots! He likes to play third base and has a great arm.
Emma, Owen and Claire are all on the same t-ball team, the Milwaukee Brewers. Emma caught her first line drive last night! She was just as surprised as everyone else! It was so cute to see her amazement and even a little embarrassment at the attention:-) She is a timid hitter but runs hard to first base. She looks awful cute with her ponytail sticking out of her hat too!
Owen is a real baseball lover. He is always focused on the play and knows where to throw the ball. He has a great arm, like his big brother! Last night he made a great stretch at first base to catch the ball and throw the runner out. It was so fun to watch! He also has become a great hitter. He went to the batting cages with Darran and Brendan and soaks up all the information Brendan gets from his coaches too. He often hits hard balls out past second base and is determined to hit it further each time!
Claire loves being part of the team. She loves being social and this just adds to her social calendar. She throws the ball with her whole body and can often be seen with her tongue hanging out while making a throw. She is a good little hitter and runs fast to the base. She is a great cheerleader for her teammates!
I couldn't pick just a few pictures to showcase because I had so many good ones! My new camera takes amazing pictures....So, I've decided to try and add a slideshow...bear with me, I hope it works!
