Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Softball season has begun so now we spend 4 nights a week at the ball field. Ellie loves it so much! I

Monday night was her first game and boy they were a mess. 8 of the 12 girls played last season so they had better form then most. But the errors! Oh the inhumanity! It was sweet.

Ellie made a few of her own. She worked very hard at her position and did make some great plays. She hit a successful 4 for 4 and scored 2 runs. Unfortunately when the team scores 3 runs the inning is over. So once she came off the base as the inning was complete and the other she was tagged out at second.

Just to see her smiling from the dugout is an absolute pleasure. She has friends on the team now and we can hear her chatting it up with them. She was so shy. They all call her mighty might as she is a great hitter. When she come to the plate the girls in the dugout all call her name! The parents know her as well! She loves it.

My "WOO" (enthusiasm) is scary. Sorry. :-)
