Another Baseball Season

Baseball season is upon us again. This is Lane's third year playing baseball. This year he has moved up to CAPS which means they hit off a pitching machine. This has taken some getting used to, but Lane is doing really well. He is quite the homebody so getting him out of the house to go to practice or a game can sometimes be hard, but once he gets there he is very intense and focused.

I don't really get to watch the game, I am too busy watching Estelle. From picking up cigarette butts to climbing under the bleachers, she is keeping me busy.
Lane is a great hitter. This year with the machine, it's trickier. I hope he is able to get some great hits at his games. During one practice he hit a grand slam. Go Lane!
Look at him looking at the runner on first. Very intimidating :) That kid was a giant by the way and so was his twin brother and two other large boys on the other team!

When we went into this baseball season we did not know anyone on his team. Many of them already knew each other and I wondered how that would go. The more practices and games I go to, the more I like the people (parents and kids) on the team. Actually, one of the moms is an assistant pastor at the church we have been going to (but have not gotten involved in). I got to talking with her the other day and she told me about the woman's bible study she leads at our church. I went to it for the first time today and it was really great. Turns out three other moms from the team go to it, as well as a neighbor of mine that I have recently met. I am thankful that I have found a way to get involved in the church we are attending and get to know some more Christian women. Funny how God works these things out :)
