It's fall ball time! Drew had his first baseball game this past Saturday. He was so excited. He really loves it. He's not that great but he really does love it. This year they start the whole coach pitch thing which is a big change and challenge for Drew. Hopefully, he will get the hang of it sooner rather than later. They get a couple coach pitches and then if they can't do that they get to give the tee a try. So far he has done pretty well - no strike outs! In the field he has been playing in the outfield so he really hasn't seen that much action. He has got the ball a couple of times but at times I think it is kind of hard to keep his attention out there. The grass and the planes flying by are much more interesting! :) He loves it and I guess that is all that matters. I think he has his father's competitive spirit (or the lack of - ha ha). He doesn't really care if they win or lose, if he hits or not, he is just there to have a good time. I guess that is good but Blakely and I have much more of a competitive spirit and we want the win, the best! So funny how two kids can be SOOOO different. So we will see how the season goes. Hopefully it will be a good learning season so they can get ready for the Spring where it is much more competitive. Have fun Drew and keep up the good work. Oh and his cousin Matthew is on his team again this season and we just love that. He is a great ball player and we love to watch him play. He is a natural! Will, Drew's older cousin, has moved down the hill at Boundry Water's to play this season where they do kid pitch. He was a little nervous about that but he doing great and they actually have him in pitching some. Way to go Will!
