{catching up #5....gerard's turn}

Baseball season is officially underway.



We bumped Gerard up from tee-ball to little minors and it is MUCH more interesting to play AND to watch. He is the youngest player on the team (it's mostly 7 & 8 year olds) but he plays as well as (or better than) the rest of them. Here are some pictures from a game earlier in the season:








Morgan usually spends her time during the games playing with other players' siblings or playing in the dirt. She loves every minute of it.



A few months ago, Grandma Andrea went to a Sabres vs. Coyotes hockey game and she brought an 8x10 picture of Gerard in his goalie equipment with her. She had hoped that she'd be able to get it to Ryan Miller so he could autograph the picture and mail it back. She was able to get it to a trainer and asked the trainer to give the picture (with a self-addressed, stamped envelope and note) to Ryan. Months went by and we never received anything. Soooo, it came as a total shock to us a few weeks ago when we got this special envelope in the mail from Ryan:

Gerard is soooooo handsome. His rookie card will be woth millions one day. His hand eye coordination has always been great and his stance is perfect. BTW if he wants to keep that perfect face, baseball, not hockey, should be his sport of choice.

Watch out, Little Minors! Gerard has inherited Grandpa's slugger stance and batting ability for sure:-) And Morgan looks like an entomologist. Are you going buggy?
