Soccer time!

This season we decided to also let Will play soccer. I'm crazy, I know. I always said that we'd do only one sport-like thing at a time. But I really wanted to let him try soccer. And since it's his first season off the tee, and hitting off the machine, there was really no way we could let him skip fall ball. Plus, fall ball only lasts 6 weeks, on Sunday afternoons only. So there's no conflict - just 6 busy weekends in a row!

So here we go with soccer. First game was fun - Will's team won 4-0, and he scored one of those goals! Other than that it's just fun mixed with chaos. But at least I got a few pictures!

Fall Ball

It's a new season, in a new league, batting off a machine, and we only had 1 practice. Will got a handful of balls pitched to him through the machine at that practice, and then we had our first game.

If I remember correctly, our first inning was something like 3 up 3 down, i think...
Next inning was going similarly, and then Will came up to bat.

First ball...

2nd ball...

3rd ball...

and we have a hit!

Next time at bat went a little the same, a few fouls and then...

Now here are some pictures of the day...

We started out as pitcher...

These are his special hands that make him fast. They seem to work pretty well!

First time as catcher ever. He learned this position from looking at his cake topper from his birthday.
