A Day at the Ball Field

Saturday was a really fun day. Our little family spent it together, watching Logan's T-ball game, and running a lot of little errands. 

Out in the county where we live there are a lot of "Home-grown" Southerners who have lived here their entire lives, and they take their ball very seriously. It makes for some interesting experiences at practices and on gameday, but they are the sweetest people. It's been a lot of fun getting to know some more families in our area, and Logan has been practicing catching and throwing at home a lot lately. 

It used to be that we could throw with him inside, but yesterday proved that to now be a hazard, and we are lucky to still have all of our windows and electronics still intact. Our new house rule, is "no ball in the house!" While I was practicing catch with Logan yesterday I pegged him pretty hard in the head. We were using a real ball, so I felt pretty bad about it. He cried a bit, but he was nice about it and excused himself saying, "I'll be back in a minute!" He went out to the garage and came back with his batting helmet on and said he was ready to play some more. What a sweetie!


In the dugout

Logan and a new friend. They were more interested in the potato bugs than the game.

Dan took this shot. Logan was happy to be home.


A trip to Bruesters after the game. Look at how dirty my kids can get!

I am laughing so hard at your "good" aim. Poor kid. Mommy whacking him on the head. Smart kid. Good thing he had a helmet ready.

Hi there Becki, thanks so much for the comment on my blog. I need to put your blog addy in my friends column so I can remember to check up on you too. I just read through your last few posts. Congrats on the new baby! So exciting, we are getting ready to welcome our new little one this next month...crazy. Goes by too fast. :( Also, your pictures look great as well. Having a DSLR is so fun, changes everything about taking pictures, huh?

Ha ha, nice Becki, teaching Logan to take it like a man before he starts grade school. His helmet fix was awesome. And Dan's shot of Logan coming into home plate is GREAT! Good work Dan.
And I'm sure by using the term "home grown" southerners you were paying a compliment....

You should enter the picture of Logan coming to home plate in some contest. That is a great picture! Love your guys' blog!
