That's one of my favorite lines from the movie,
League of their own.
And, I'll admit, I've said that a time or two to my girls.
Hey, I've never denied that I occasionally live vicariously
through my children and softball is a passion of mine!
This year Claire is playing for the Pirates.
She is lucky to have her Grandpa Johnson coaching again.
He is really working hard with them, and they have come
a long way since their first game. A long way!
Despite my occasional "ugh" or "come on Claire"
I have managed to enjoy watching her play and
have fun doing it!
Not only that, I've enjoyed watching Ella play
with the "little sister club" that has been formed
by all the little sisters of the team. Very cute!
Ella isn't playing softball this year, but she's
enjoying her time at the fields none the less!
Batter up!~
Claire has a good bat. Strong 'breaststroke' upper body!
I have been most impressed with Claire's willingness
to run this year. She's getting over that "they're looking at me stage"
and is actually running like she means it now!
Homeplate!
Whether your playing ball, swimming, reading or
just hanging out, I hope you enjoy your time with
your kiddos.
I am learning to cherish every moment I have with
them and I'm so grateful for that!
God bless!
