game day...game face...

this is my nephew

~

my hubby calls him

T

and

yesterday was day 2 of his league playoffs

in which I joined my sister and her family to cheer him on

~~~~~

who attacks a new puppy with love and kisses at the ball field

?

the sisters of the ball players

that's who

{the one in the white t-shirt is my sweet niece}

baseball players are moving targets and trying to get clear shots of my nephew

while he was actually playing

{with a huge wire fence in front to me}

was not easy

but

I did manage to catch him during the warm-up

and

of course sneaking into the dugout was pretty easy

T

is the catcher for his team and I couldn't help but shoot him getting his gear on and off

in between innings

and

being hugely impressed with how fast he could do this

there were times you could feel a bit of seriousness coming from the field or the dugout

and

somehow I caught it

on the kid who never stops smiling

on this second day of play

they won their first game

and

a few hours later in another elimination round

they lost

but

what an amazing season these boys had to even make it this far

and

what a great day this aunt had

watching

cheering

shooting

and

remembering how it was just yesterday that her own kids were this little

and

how quickly they grew because she blinked
