Thank goodness for Tivo.
We don't watch much tv at all, but we missed part of
General Conference
(the twice-yearly, twice-a-day for two days, worldwide broadcast for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
the first Saturday of April, because the boys had their
first baseball game!
Jonathan thought it was very funny that I was pretty nervous. I don't care about who wins, I just really wanted both boys to get
a hit and some catches
and to feel good about being part of a team.
Well, he thought it was pretty funny-- until, after a couple of exciting plays in a row, he suddenly became overklempt (choked up, for those of you who don't remember Mike Meyer's old skit on SNL). Kind of just hits you when it's
YOUR kids out there.
Caleb getting ready to hit, and Calvin to the right.
Caleb, our left-handed hitter.
Calvin, in a photo that captured probably the only time he actually held the bat up right, the little darling. Bless his skinny, Lego-loving, physics-minded, non-physically gifted little self!
Caleb, SO CUTE as the catcher.
(wearing a right-handed catching mitt even tho he's left handed, but he didn't seem to mind)
Proud Dad!
(hiding his tears behind the sunglasses he doesn't like because somehow he lost his Maui Jims.)
Still smiling after the game...
and Caleb got the team ball. (Is that like MVP or something?)
We've also discovered the joys of Wallery's terrific pizza parlor for the after-game festivities!
