What we've been up to

Baseball is the story of our life right now. And actually I think it's my favorite sport that they play. Soccer's a very close second but I love watching them play baseball. Maybe it's because I'm not coaching. As you can imagine with Lucas and the Yankees it's always very interesting. One game after several monsoons here, some genius thought it would be a good idea to put sand in low spots all over the field which included home base and in the outfield. The tractor they used to do it left tracks all over the outfield which totally threw the kids off. So the runner from 1st to 2nd took a short trip through the outfield every time. Reminded me of a Family Circus adventure. Lucas was catcher that game and basically just played in the sand. In between batters he would put sand in the tee. This did not amuse the other teams coach (or his momma) very much. The next game Steve was coaching first base and Lucas hit and they got him out. Well he wasn't having it. Steve finally convinced him to head to the dugout and seconds later a batters helmet comes flying at first base and then all the bats in the dug out get knocked down. This kid could make it in the majors as a manager! At least he has some spirit! Logan is in a hitting slump. He has it in his head that he can't hit so of course he doesn't. If you pitch to him or do soft toss he hits like an expert. Put him up the plate against the machine and it all falls apart. I bribed convinced him to wear his glasses while hitting in last nights game and he got close to getting a hit. No one on our team really hit well.
