A New Baseball Player, And A Proud Dad!

Last Saturday marked Christopher's very first baseball game.  He is participating in a "modified" coach pitch league, and it was a blast watching him play for the first time.  Obviously, most of the kids at this age are severely lacking quality coordination.  They sure try hard though, and I really get a kick out of being on the field with Christopher helping him learn the game I love so much.

Here is Christopher swinging for the fences in his very first at bat.

Here is Christopher playing short stop.  Yep, that's me in background showing his teammate Ethan how to get down on a ground ball. 

After the game we came back to my house to get Christopher changed into his soccer uniform.  His first soccer game of the years was also Saturday, and let me tell you, it was Africa HOT out there.  Bless those kid's hearts......they were suffering.  That, combined with the fact that one of the opposing players was the son of a major league soccer player, made for a very long day.  That boy was a true phenom.  Unbelievable.

I'm really looking forward to tonight.  Aidan has his second game of the season tonight.  They won their first last Wednesday 11-3.  I'll have pictures soon.
