Baseball

Last Friday was Austin's last baseball game. He decided to play for the school this year and we LOVED the schedule! His practices were right after school and his games were on Friday at 2:00! For the last several years, baseball season has been so time consuming, but this year we were really able to enjoy it! In the past, practices have been from 5-7pm and games at various times over the weekend. We struggled to fit in dinner as a family, ate way too much take out, and felt grounded on the weekends! This year was so nice!

My only complaint is that he didn't get to play in enough games. There were so many kids that wanted to play, so they made up two teams. The teams played every other week.

Watching the kids play sports is one of the things I love most about being a mom! Austin and Me

I don't love this picture at all but my other option was worse! ;-)

We were so proud of Austin this year! He has grown so much as a baseball player! It was so fun to watch him! He played short stop for the first half of the game...

The second half of the game he played catcher and did a great job!

(Jason works from home on Friday!) Jessica can't go anywhere without her book! Austin got her started on this Warriors series and they both have been reading a ton!

I'm a little sad baseball season is over! I would have loved to watch him play a few more games before it gets too hot! I'm excited to see how he does next year as a big 6th grader!
