'Tis the {Baseball} Season

Whew...I think we made it through baseball season!  Alex finished up his last game yesterday evening...with a win...and the game ball!


He did such a great job...especially since it was near 90 degrees this time...so sticky hot!  His team missed four games this season because of all the rain we've had...so if we're able to make those up...he'll still get a chance to play again.  But...it's been a good season...and we're happy that it's over!  {Now he's ready to play tennis!}


We're so proud of how well he tried and did his best! 
Great job Alex!

Following the game...we headed home before another storm blew in.  For the last three nights in a row...there have been severe thunderstorms.  These pictures don't really show...but one minute it's light outside...then the dark clouds roll in and the wind picks up and lightning strikes!

...just seconds before Alex and Emily were out catching fireflies!  But I do love a good storm at night...as long as it doesn't cause any damage!

  2. Alex really looks like an awesome ball player:) I think my boys had a good time at t-ball this year, but I was SO glad when the season was over!

  3. Aww, I love baseball season. The kids have a great time, and I get my adult interaction as well. I don't miss the running 3 times a week, though! Have a wonderful day!

  4. Alex looks right at home in that ball uniform! :) Glad he had a fun baseball season. That's what it's all about.

    We had a storm last night, too. The Hubster and I sat on the front porch swing while the heat lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled. You could SMELL the rain coming! I love that! :)

  5. Great season Alex! We love baseball season here too but it is always a relief when it's over! Love the fence effect on your pics! And I am not a fan of storms...never have liked them! Bring on tennis!

  7. How are you handling the heat with your pregnancy? The temps here have only gotten above 75 on a few occasions, and I find that even with that much heat I can only sit outside in the sun for VERY small periods of time. We are heading to NC and SC in just over 2 weeks, and I'm not sure if I will even be able to come out from under the air conditioning while I am there! Most of the time will be spent at our beach house, so there will hopefully be some ocean breezes and of course the water itself to cool off in. But I'm still worried about how I will be able to enjoy just being outside and playing in the heat... it has been near or over 100 the last few days there!

  9. I love the 1st and especially 3rd pics of Alex! He is a handsome little guy!

    The storm pics are AMAZING! I like the way storms look, but they make me so stinkin' nervous!
