"Put Me in Coach, I'm Ready to Play!"

After taking a year off, Aleah is back on the softball field. But wow, 8th grade softball is different from 6th grade softball! It's fast-pitch and that ball is coming pretty darn fast but she's managed to connect with the ball a few times. Unfortunately, the ball has also managed to connect with her a few times too. In tonight's game, after being beaned in the shoulder by a pitch, she had an RBI and scored a run herself. She enjoys playing the outfield and stealing bases but does NOT enjoy being hit by pitches!

"Ouch!"



As for the rest of us, we're enjoying watching a sport other than soccer. It's a nice change, however I wish the weather would cooperate. Last week, the first week of softball, was absolutely gorgeous... high 80's and sunny. This week though we've been freezin' our behinds off... all of 55 degrees today. I literally broke out my down coat and managed to keep somewhat warm. And it's only October 1st! Oh boy, it's going to be a LOOOOOOONG winter.
