Baseball is serious business in our little town. I have been told that our Little League is the largest in the US and and I know that last year our seniors won the US Little League World series!!!

So, from February until late April or early May, our life revolves around baseball. Truth be told, I did not think I was going to like that. Years ago when Will was little, I remember dreading baseball. I even asked Dave if it would be okay for me to bring a book to read at the games. I grew up with all sisters and was not really into sports. But I have grown to LOVE it!!! I think I like baseball season as much or more than Harry!

Harry has baseball four times a week (2 games and 2 practices). Additionally, we have to work the concession stand (which is like a mini restaurant here--the best I've ever seen) and volunteer at the carnival, auction etc. It is quite a commitment. But these other team families become our social network for the next few months and it is tons of fun! So, if you don't see me around in blog-land as much, you will know I am cheering Harry on at the fields.

Miss Katie Ru is also busy getting ready for her Spring Ballet and Tap recital. I cannot wait:)

  6. Baseball is my favorite! It's probably the only sport I actually understand. I kept score and stats for our team in high school. Love it! I hope Hudson will want to play.

    Kate is such a cutie! We have a recital coming up soon too!

  7. Kim I really loved my years of baseball with my four boys. In CA we played 7 days a week...and with four of them I spent 7 days at the field and LOVED IT!!! I even became a director for the league (never thought in a million years that would happen). It's so true that the people become a social network. I am still friends with many that my boys played ball with.
    Addison is getting ready for her recital too...well it's in June but they are starting their little dance routine...so cute : )
    Enjoy your time on the field...some days I really miss it.

  15. Harry looks like such the athlete!! He's a natural for sure. I can't wait for my boys to play baseball- next year Preston will start. Kate looks like the perfect little ballerina. I danced for 12 years growing up and LOVED it. Some of my best memories are the recitals. If I ever have a daughter I would love it if she danced.

  17. Hi Kim,

    Oh, I am so with you!!!! I could 'copy and paste' your post to my blog..lol! I'm thankful Nathan doesn't have tryout this year, as this will be his second year in majors. Would have been difficult, as tryouts were this weekend, and as you know, our mind and efforts were else where.

    Last season, Nathan played post season all stars in the 9-10 division and made it to the state championships. Very exciting stuff...they all play their hearts out, don't they? Owen doesn't make the Apr 30 LL age cut off, so I have one more year with just ONE kid with the crazy serious practice and game schedule;-). O will be playing lacrosse which is must less demanding time wise.

    Anyhow....your Kate is adorable in her tutu. Must be a nice balance to the baseball.

    Enjoy all the activity:-)

    Hugs,
    Tami

  18. Ahhh...yes...I remember running around the entire countryside with my two big kids playing sports. I miss watching them play but I don't miss all of the "extra" stuff that it entails:)

    Kate is just so precious in her ballet clothes......I need to check into dance for Emma Jane when we get to Mexico...she would love it!
