On my list of things that I miss, my boys playing baseball is high at the top. We still have some opportunities, I suppose, with Jace & Zach - however, we haven't had them play for a few years, so I'm a little worried they've missed a window. And honestly, I don't think it's really something Jace is interested in. But that youngest one...I think it's something he'd enjoy. I just have to pay more attention to sign-up dates.
Anyway, two of the three older boys played ball. Tanis didn't last many years and Nate played, but he had bigger interests. Lex played for quite a few years though and I loved watching him play. He played 1st or 3rd base for a good long while there and he seemed to enjoy it. He ended up playing on the same team for a couple of years and these boys had a pretty good team. Now, all these years later I can't remember exactly what happened, but one of the moms on the team hired a photographer to take some real photos of the team - instead of just what the city-hired photographer would do.
Now, if you know me at all, you know that I love my pictures, so I was all in. I don't regret it a bit. The day did end up a bit emotional, however, as I learned my grandma had passed away while sitting on the bleacher watching the photographer work. Whew! That was rough. Trying not to cry in front of people has never been something I'm great at. Thankfully, moms were paying more attention to what the photographer was doing than to me and these pictures turned out so great though and they've been some of my favorites for a long time.
Aprilisa's release for Gingerscraps July 2023 Buffet is called Homerun and I immediately thought of these photos to use with her collection. I had created a similar layout years ago with these photos, but I never really loved the finished page. I'm much happier with this one.
