Its Time for some Baseball!!

Luke and Liam after their first baseball practice

Finn is standing at his favorite spot.  He loves to snatch things from the table

Me, grab things??

Slightly overwhelmed....Finn's newish ball pit (leftover from his brothers, but we just got it back out)

And his brothers still love it, of course!

Aiden is getting much better at hitting the ball of the "T" 

John purchased a net for the boys to practice hand/eye coordination and batting practice

Liam is ready to play baseball

Luke is practicing his catching skills

After 6 solid days of rain, the grass sure is green in this picture!

Batting practice for Luke



I think we learned one thing last year when Luke and Liam played T-ball.  We are definitely ready for baseball.  The whole experience was fun for them, but it was really SLOW.....They were playing baseball in the backyard with John and the neighbors so hitting off a "T" was a bit of a step back for them.  This year, however, Luke and Liam are playing in a 7 and under coach pitch baseball league.    Its not super competitive, but they do teach some basics with hitting, catching, running, etc...  It is slightly more structured than last year where kids were often found playing in the grass or dirt rather than actually playing baseball.  Due to all the rain, we have had several practices cancelled, but they have managed to have a few practices and really have enjoyed it.  John also purchased a net for "batting practice" in the backyard and they love it.  In less than a week, their batting skills have already improved a bit.  Aiden is also getting a lot better at hitting off the "T" and already understands some of the concepts of baseball.
