Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

This year both boys are playing Baseball. Andy is in the 9yr old division while Billy is in the 6year old division. They play here on the fields and boy do they keep us busy!

This is Billy's first year in any kind of team sport. He loves it one day and then hates it the next. He's doing really well. He's still a little scared of the ball, but he's understanding the game now. Its so amazing to watch as they learn something new and see that they are truly enjoying it.

Although Andy has been in team sports before this is his first year playing Baseball. He still says that he like Football the best, but he is enjoying himself just as much as Billy is. Andy is new to Baseball and some of the other kids on his team have been playing since they were 4 (here they start baseball at age 4) and we thought that would be discouraging to Andy. It's not stoped him in the least. I think it makes him try just a little harder. He has already gotten 2 game balls. He's improving with each game and practice.

I don't have as many pictures of Andy's games, mostly because I get so involved in watching them play that I forget to take pictures! I'll try to get some more.
The two teams are
Andy: Kansas City Royals & Billy: St Louis Cardinals
