First baseball game!



Harrison had his first baseball game today! They played 4 innings and won 15-3. Harrison batted twice and got a base hit both times. He made it home once and was stranded on 2nd the other time. He played Centerfield, Pitcher and Shortstop. The coaches pitch to them in this league though. He had so much fun, it was cute to watch too! The picture above is when he was playing at short, and made a play to hold the runner at 2nd.

Update





I can't believe that I haven't updated this in 8 months....we have obviously been busy!


We went to the beach for vacation over the summer and Harrison learned to SWIM!! We were so excited to get rid of the life jacket. He learned at the beginning of the week and was a fish the rest of the time.


Harrison just started 2nd grade last week. He hates waking up ealier than Brennan (she is in midde school which goes in later)!! He likes his teacher and according to him they do nothing all day.....we'll see how long that lasts!


Harrison finished his first season of hockey. His team didn't win a single game, but they had fun! He got one goal, during the very last game....not bad for a defenseman. He also had 2 or 3 assists during the season. He was given the Hussle Award and the coach called him the most improved player out of both teams. He is about to start another season and it continues through March. Can you believe he has practice EVERY Sunday at 7AM??? Good thing Jason signed up for this one...I don't do mornings!


He also decided to take a break from soccer and try his hand at baseball. He should start practicing this week and games will start in September. We'll see how it goes I guess!

Hockey update



Harrison has completed 3 sessions of ice skating lessons and one session of cross-ice. In cross-ice, he learned how to skate with full hockey equipment on, and carrying a hockey stick. Then they learned how to skate with a puck too. He loves it and is looking forward to one more cross-ice session, beginning mid-January. Then it's on to a real team!



He was able to skate on the NHL ice at Philips Arena back on Dec. 22! It was put on by the Thrashers, but the players weren't there:-( Anyway, he spent one hour taking lessons from Darren Elliot and Jeff Odgers(ex-Thrashers that now do commentary for games) He loved it and we enjoyed watching him too. We stayed for the game afterwards for an extra treat!
