It has been a long cold baseball season but Alex just had his final game last Tuesday, June 10th. (And can you believe it was in the 50's and my mother and I were huddled together with several jackets and blankets.) This year was a big adjustment for me in the fact that Alex started AA baseball in which the kids do the pitching. We witnessed many a kids hit by the ball, many upset when they struck out without ever swinging and some great plays by some 7 to 9 year old kids. Sadly, Alex's team I believe only won 2 games,with a handful of close ones. They had fun though and they improved immensely from the beginning of the season to the end. He had a great coach that was never over the top and really wanted the kids to have fun playing. As a mom I was extremely grateful for that. Alex had some wonderful plays. When he is on base he is always alert so he can try to steal a base at every chance. Of course I love to watch him because he looks so cute and serious when he plays. Here are a few pics from the season. Go Alex!!!

Baseball is so much fun to watch at that age!!
From our brief experience, we've found this little league thing to be more entertaining for us that our child!
Way to go, Alex! Isn't it nice to have baseball season over with? It is fun, but life definitely slows down when games and practices are over.
