harper, calvary, cousin chloe, and kyle are all participating on a 4-5 year old t-ball team. we thought that calvary would really enjoy it and we signed harper up thinking that she would have fun regardless of whether it was her favorite thing or not and that calvary would have more fun if she was there. the bonus was chloe signing up and we were able to get them all on the same team. kyle and our friend justin signed on to coach the team and i decided that the conditions could not be suited any better for their first try at america's pasttime. we were slightly worried when calvary started to refer (and still does) to his glove as his "mitten" and even more concerned when harper asked justin if she could wear a skirt or a dress for games. however, after the first practice i was happily surprised with their baseball aptitude. all the kids on the team seem willing to have a good time and most of them run the bases in the right direction. after the first practice, where calvary stopped running the bases long enough to pick and deliver a flower to harper, we decided that running the bases in the right direction is a huge milestone. i've never really enjoyed the sport (cue the tomatoes and boos and anti-american name calling) but somehow, seeing the tiny members of my own family pick up the tools of the trade has made sitting in unbearable heat somewhat fun.

Did they get to pick out their own numbers too? :)
