I saw this small grove of trees by the parking lot at Wheeler Field on Tuesday . We were hurrying to get Sebastian to his flag football game, but I had to stop and get a quick photo.

Fall Baseball, Flag Football, Swimming Like A Fish & Furry Friends

We have had a full schedule of sports this fall. Sebastian will be finishing up the last of his UMD fall baseball clinics this weekend. Flag football runs through October and Sophia has been working on her swimming skills at the YMCA pool. We had a perfect day for Sebastian’s baseball scrimmage this past Sunday. Warm and sunny – it couldn’t have been a nicer day.

Sophia stayed busy during Sebastian’s game with her new hula hoop (and wearing my sunglasses).

Hula Girl

Sebastian finished the day with a flag football practice. Then on Monday he headed back to the field and played a flag football game. It was an awesome night for football and we had a bonus with Mike filling in as coach.

Time For Action

From The Sidelines

I did catch some of the action, but was a bit distracted by this…

Boxer Puppy

Sophia didn’t actually see any of the game. One of the opposing team’s parents brought their new puppy to the game. Sophia was too busying playing with this little gal to care what was happening on the field. She cuddled her, pet her and wrapped her up in our blanket to keep warm.

Watching The Game

Lap Dog

Sophia eventually gave her back to the owners when we had to leave. She is convinced that Daphne needs a friend and that we should get a boxer puppy too. Umm, yeah…that’s not going to happen any time soon. Sorry Sophia.

p.s. Mike did a great job coaching and Sebastian’s team won the game, holding the other team to only one touchdown. Officially this is only a rec league and they don’t keep track of scores, but Mike and Sebastian always keep track. They can’t help it.

MCP Project 52 ~ Week 30

Week 30 Theme ~ A Letter of the Alphabet

Sebastian had a long baseball season. He just finished this past Wednesday by pitching during a playoff game. He did an awesome job as a 10 year old pitching against kids that were up to two years older than him. He had only pitched once during the regular season, but looked very confident on the mound. I think Mike and I were more nervous than he was. We are looking forward to next season and seeing him more frequently on the pitcher’s mound.

The Letter "E" For Eastern Little League

He actually played for the Red Sox this year, but I liked the “E” on his last year’s All-Star hat better.

The Gymnast

Sophia had her final gymnastics class (until next fall) last Wednesday. They finished up the session with an open house for families to see what the students have been learning during class. All levels and ages of kids were represented. All the way from the pre-schoolers learning the basics to the teenagers doing floor exercises and bars. It was a full house with standing room only, but I did manage to snap a few photos of Sophia showing off her moves.

Monkey Bars

Sophia always ends the night with a time or two on the monkey bars outside before heading home. She thinks it helps to build up her arm strength for gymnastics…or maybe it’s just a lot of fun.
