It's our first weekend of play at UCSD. The weather was awesome! We had a great 14-4 win and some losses but overall a strong showing for a very young team. A side note for the photo above: The Scripps hospital in the background is where I will deliver Baby Jack on March 19 (if he doesn't come sooner on his own).
The pictures above and below are pregame warm-ups with some encouragement from the coach. Eric is #3 this season. He picked three to represent me, EJ and Jack, the three most important people in his life.
EJ loves going to the batting cage and hitting balls off the "t" but in his excitement he threw the bat and it got stuck in the netting. Thankfully, I was able to help the poor kid out so he could get back to batting practice. 
All of the coaches have kids and they make up quite the "sandlot" after the games. They run the bases and play games waiting for their dads to finish up. I love how laid back the atmosphere is. It's a great place for the kids to grow up.
This was the only picture of the three of us I was able to get but EJ wouldn't move his hands off his face because the sun was in his eyes. That's life with a 4 year-old; if he doesn't want to do it--he won't do it. 
We are so grateful for our new opportunity here in San Diego. We're hoping and praying not only for a successful playing season but for the opportunity to have a positive influence on the lives of those we interact with.
