Gabe's Baseball

We signed Gabe up for another round of baseball, this time in the fall.  He did baseball last spring.  Its about $65 for registration but at least we didn't have to buy any baseball gear this year since we bought everything last year.
Gabe is pretty non-competitive and non-athletic (at least, relatively), so it was hard to get Gabe super excited about baseball.  But for the most part, Gabe seemed to enjoy baseball.  It was hard to get him to focus sometimes, and he had (and still has) a few bad habits that made it difficult for Gabe to get the most out of baseball.  Erik worked with Gabe a little bit, but Gabe really needs more practice and one-on-one time for him to excel.  When Gabe put his best effort into the game, he was a real good hitter!  We may put Gabe in baseball again.  I think it is good for him to do something different from his typical computer-book-crafting-TV routine.  Baseball teaches teamwork and that practice pays off! Its also great because he can get some exercise in!

I love this picture!

The team!

Up to bat!

Out in the field.  The optimal time for Gabe to loose his focus.

A video of Gabe not hitting the ball.  His very last hit of the season.  Fortunately, he's hit the ball many times before and I'm sure he can do it again!

A Few of My Favorite (Recent) Pictures

 Here's a few of my most favorite pictures that I've taken recently.  No theme or order--just pure and unfettered adorableness captured by my new phone camera.  These were all taken in November 2015

Me & my Bean.

 9 months.  I love that there is a wee little bit o' ginger in his hair.

 Gotta love this girl and her goof-ball smiles!

 My handsome boys, minus Gabe

 A girl and her bike.  May this bike bring her many happy childhood memories!

My cute Gabe.  He's a goof but sure has a heart of gold!
