Fall Ball!

The softball league we played in last spring is doing a short, 5 week season this fall. We joined up with a new team and Madeleine is loving it! We are the Pink Sox and Matt is helping with the coaching. It's become a family event this fall which has made it even more fun!

 

Their first game was last Friday night -- they played a double header. Harrison just integrated himself into all the pre-game happenings. He helped to set up the pitching machine and was in the middle of all the coaches' talks. Ha! He spent most of the game as the bat boy too. 

This cutie and I cheered from the stands! Madeleine is doing great this fall! She's a very talented player for just being 9 and hit the ball really well. She got on base several times and tried several postions.

She really didn't want to play catcher, but Matt had brought home the gear and they'd tried it out at home. He wanted her to give it a try since she can catch the ball so well. He even told her he'd up her allowance on the weeks she was catcher! haha! Well it turned out that she actually liked being catcher, but it was pretty tiring. She did great in that position and I think we'll see her there again.
