Gideon is having an awesome year in little league, especially for it being his first year playing at all. He loves it!
It's machine pitch and Gideon plays shortshop. They are such a cute little team and we just love watching them. We have won 5 and lost 1.
This was a great game on Saturday. We were down 1-6 and then our team rallied and started hitting and, with this almost home run by Gid, the score was 7-7. This league has a rule that if the outfield gets it back to the pitcher before the runner gets halfway to the next base, then the runner has to go back. Well, they barely got it back to the pitcher when Gideon was almost home and so he had to go back to third. He had to do this twice off of two great hits. And then the other team made one more run, and thus, our first loss. Gotta learn to lose, too.Smack....
Rounding second....
Almost home......
He's really having a great year. That is, when he's not getting in trouble for climbing the backstop or dugout or whatever else is around:
For the first time in years, Steve is getting a chance to coach because we are not doing spring planting. It's been so nice not to be a farming widow and Steve is having a great time coaching Gideon's little league team.

Great job Gideon! Your Aunt Erika was a shortstopper as well. I loved it!!!
Go #7! Let us know when the next game is. We'd love to see him if there we are not at soccer or track.
These are great pictures, I can't believe how big Gid looks!
