Well, not quite baseball weather here in Ohio, but we headed out to the ball diamond regardless. Owen's first game of the season last night and they WON~ Go Dodgers!! Owen has been practicing since the snow melted... it's everyday after work "Mom can we play baseball?"... so it's nice to actually be "playing". He moved up a level this year so he's on of the youngest. I was a little worried but Owen is one of the top hitters on the team. He hit each time he was up and when I say hit... it was in the outfield. His first hit of the game was a double... to bad the runner ahead of him didn't run on to third! Owen ended up getting tagged out... what was the other kid thinking not running on to third! I need to coach! In this league, they pitch the ball and they play 5 strikes you're out rather than tree. Now let's switch over to defense... he did great and looked great... he has a good stance and "game face".... believe it or not... looks do matter in sports (words from the professional... my husband)... you have to look the part to play the part... and take it serious (more words from the professional). Owen actually "caught" the ball or actually went after the ball during his stint as the catcher. We do need to work on getting the glove down so the balls don't go through the legs... this happened twice :( All in all, we are very proud of him and we can't wait until the next game. On a side note... Olivia was suprisingly good and enjoyed playing around and watching big brother (only once did she try to "join" the team as the first baseman)... this enabled me to take some great shots of Owen in action ~ enjoy!
