Outdoor Baseball Practice Begins


It's finally time for baseball.  I'm definitely more excited about it that Peyton is.  Murph is beside himself.  He was dressed and ready a full hour before it was time to leave.  Bag packed.  Water jug filled.  Bats shined up.  And all his accouterments at the ready - evo shield, evo sleeve, sunglasses, gloves, high socks.  Love that boy!

And since mom is back in rehab - there was no stress about getting him there.  And Peyton was able to come along.  Of course she packed a ton of things to keep her busy.  Her sketch pad, colored pencils, her phone, a jump rope, sidewalk chalk, a mad libs book and her rainbow loom. 
I have always been proud of her ability to keep herself entertained.  She's really started to spend a lot of time sketching over this past 2 months or so...she's good.
They started practice running, then went right into infield drills.  There were 4 guys taking balls at 1st.  Murph held his own.  One other kid, Steven, was really good too.  They moved the boys around a lot - I guess to see where they performed most comfortably.
Murph played at 1st, 2nd, 3rd and caught in for a little while.  Most of his time was spent at first...which is his happy place!
Me and my girl - already in team colors...notice the baseball bow in Peyton's hair?  So cute!
