Baseball

The fall baseball season is well under way. We got off to a rough start once the season began with Tao getting a 102.9 fever on his first game and having to be "benched" game one AND game two.

Then, games 3 and four were both rained out while a southern monsoon decided to sweep through the ATL

finally, we are back in gear....we have had 3 consecutive games now and the sky was bright blue with not a single cloud representing today!

Today was a slightly different game for us first timers. Today we played a team that really cared about winning...not the love of the or a bunch of kids on the field having a good time, but to win...we were tied at the end of the game and, as we were the last team on the field, coach asked if they wanted to play another round...not realizing how important it was for them to win, the other team jumped at the opportunity and SLAMMED us in the top of the inning.
Our poor boys didn't know what hit them...
After the game ended, coach had to voice his opinion for the way his boys were treated on the field. Needless to say, there was almost a knock down drag out with most everyone just looking and saying, "it's just a game..."

I am so glad Junior was our coach and not the other guy! He even came over to tell them boys he was sorry...

Then gave Tao his SECOND game ball! Tao is just excelling so incredibly at this sport, it is awesome! He just keeps getting better and better every practice and every game. Kaya wants to play so bad! We will definitely have her signed up for Spring season...by that time we will also need to have them both scheduled for soccer as well..

Mommy definitely needs to find a different job, one that will allow me to taxi both of these sports fanatics wherever they need to go while still being able to afford Thrasher tickets every here and there!
