Cubs!

My Little Cub
The Cubs!
Stretching out before the game
Caleb giving Kaden a pep talk before the game...actually he was really sad he couldn't be in the dug out! Papa Van and Grandma Shawn are watching in the background. 
Up to bat....go number 4 !!!
Taking a knee after the game
The best part of the game...a free hot dog!

  Saturday was Kaden's first official T-ball game! What a blast! There's nothing like watching a group of 5 and 6 year olds try to play baseball. T-ball is my absolute favorite because no one gets out, everyone gets to hit, and everyone gets to run all the bases, and at the end everyone wins! I am not competitive at all so this is how I would play every sport! Everyone goes home happy. Also, t-ball is just great entertainment. You have some kiddos with astounding natural talent, and others that stand out in the outfield yawning and playing with their glove.  The best is that all of the kids when it was their turn to bat, would swing, hit the ball, and then just stand there and see how far it would go, while all the parents are jumping up and down yelling, "RUN!!!" half the time the kids ran, sometimes they ran to third, other times they just kind of loped toward first, and then the kids in the outfield are just falling all over the ball....litteraly. Oh, it so fun! And as for Kaden....lets just say the fastest he ran the whole time was when he got his ticket for a free hot dog! :) 

  It was surreal to be sitting at a t-ball game a week after having a c-section! It seemed so natural to just be a family of five. Thank you, Lord for our smooth transition! We would have a picture of Kesington at her first base ball game but all it would be is a blanket and Grandma Shawn (Matt's dad and step-mom came up for the weekend) since she didn't see much of the game. Maybe we'll get one next Saturday. The Cubs have an 8 week season, so we get to look forward to Happy Saturdays for the next couple of months! :)
