Myla's First Tee-Ball Game!

One of the moments Matthew and I have been looking forward to since we first became parents has arrived . . . our first tee-ball game.  Last Saturday, Myla and the rest of her Chandler Sales teammates took the field for the first time.  It was a big day for Matthew as well, as he's the team's manager.

There are eleven kids on Myla's team, and we knew all but one of them already.  It's a fantastic group, the kids are all well-behaved and really into it.  Myla went three-for-three on the day and played second base, just like her Mom.  Here are some pictures of the big day:

Before the game, looking good.

Excellent defensive stance!

Getting some advice from Coach Andy.  "There are two outs, so run on anything!"

Coach Matthew gives her some tips before an at-bat.  We're teaching her to be a leftie.  To do otherwise would be neglecting our parenting duties.  Also, she wanted to be number 19, for Joey Votto, but there are no 19's.  So she decided to be #9, and we're going to try to add a "1" in front of it.

And it's a hit!

The team shakes hands afterwards.  Good game!

I love Myla's eye black. These pictures take me back 30 years, she looks so much like you did playing t-ball. A leftie and second baseman.
