our all-star

Excuse me for a wee ‘proud mama’ moment. After 10 or so seasons playing little league baseball, this year Aidan was selected for the park’s All-Star team. To say he was excited is putting it very mildly. So fitting that he’s selected in his very last season with Sandy Plains baseball.

For the past 2 weeks, our life has been baseball – practice every night capped with a 5 game series. The Red team won the first two games…the Blue team won the 2nd two. Tonight is the final game, and sadly Dad was pulled away for work – but Ava and I will be there (in the horrible heat) cheering him on.

Here’s a little montage of Aidan pitching last night – his expressions crack me up. The boy takes this game SERIOUSLY. GO BLUE!!

Camera note: All of these were shot from my comfy chair on the sidelines, through the chainlink fence, using my 70-200 2.8 @ 3.5 or so on the Canon 5D.
