Spring Sport Start

Two weeks ago, the boys had their first soccer practice and were *so* excited! T is on a new team--the Bobcats, but with a friend from school and many more in the works. He had a great time! M and Coach Daddy GG are doing awesome with the Cheetahs again this season. GG is coach extraordinaire, as we all expected but are delighted to see. Their first practice went swimmingly with Coach GG running the kids through drills and games that made it fun for everyone. He has a bunch of first-timer players, who got into it right away. We are so proud of our Daddy!

The hardest part now is that the boys' games are scheduled right at the same time (different locations) for the next few weeks. :( This means I can barely catch the tail end of most of M's first games. Thankfully, our May schedule seems a little more spread out and will allow us all to do Soccer Saturdays together. So good!


Check out #13 in the crazy hat!

The last sports item of note is M's T-ball, which started last week. He is a first-time player and really excited about it! We've known all along he's a lefty batter, but were unsure on his throwing arm. This past week proved he's also a lefty thrower too (despite being right-handed!) He is just so much more natural on the left! So far, so good. Now we have to hightail it to the store and get him a left-handed mitt! Tt-ball is Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30pm, which is already presenting a challenge for me getting all of our crew ready, fed, and out the door by 5 for practice. I assume it will get better as the weather is nicer and I get into more of a groove with routine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Running the bases at his first practice. Go M!!

Happy Monday all!
God bless,

M throws lefty? Congrats! Teach him how to pitch and you guys are set for life! Matt is *praying* that if we have a boy, he is a lefty!

Wow, y'all are busy!!
My Dad is a righty but plays all of his sports left handed. Interesting...

So glad you had a great weekend with Red and family too.

Sounds like a fun, but busy time in the Gasperini household. Aren't 5:30 practices the worst?! Dinner after is too late, but dinner before is rushed and hectic, especially when you don't get home until 4:30. Every once in a while, I just have to give in to chicken nuggets and mac and cheese! Good luck!

Teacher-Mom, yes, we are going for simple on T and Th nights. Tonight it was scrambled eggs and baby carrots! Simple and fast. Later after we arrived home, the boys asked when we were having dinner. I responded that we had already had it at 4:30! haha They were definitely all mixed up. :)

Dinner beforehand, though, is going to be essential because M gets a snack after every practice! He's going to be snacked to death. lol
