Debut

By far the highlight of the baseball season for me was watching Cyrus practice and play this past spring. Memories I will certainly never forget. He debuted with a big, wide swing while he improved his throwing and catching steadily. Each Saturday morning was a fun-filled family event. It all culminated in a festive BBQ. He will definitely need a new glove for next season. I can't wait!

Baseball Card Day 2014

 Somewhere amidst all of the winter storms, Cyrus and I took some time to open the first packs of baseball cards of the season. We are Topps snobs and don't settle for anything else. This year Cyrus donned one of my Expos caps and actually 'pulled' a Montreal card! It seems for the second year running the former Spos are a popular choice. As we stand on the precipice of another season I'm thinking the Rays and Dodgers have a great shot at the World Series. I was leaning towards St. Louis for the longest time but I think Mattingly might finally make it to the Fall Classic. The only time I correctly predicted both teams in the World Series was 1997, but I had the Tribe over the Marlins. Cyrus and I are watching the Dodgers vs. Padres (Crawford and Puig down on K's)  right now on the smartTV we bought the week before the Super Bowl. I refused to watch any spring training games. As for baseball played by us, it appears I'll be making my CT softball debut and Cyrus will be making his LL debut! So glad to have baseball back.

Super Bound Cy

For the second year in a row Santa has given Cyrus a jersey with his soon to be age on it. Last year Cyrus received a personalized #4 Baltimore Ravens jersey. We all know that with New Ro's Ray Rice they took it all. This year Cyrus rec'd a #5 Seattle Seahawks jersey. If they win it all this year it might be time to get Santa to put a little money where his mouth is on these predictions. The early returns from 2014 have been excellent despite bizarre weather. Cyrus and Juniper are like learning sponges. They love artwork, play doh and today they played Connect 4 and Operation for the first time. Of course they are both savvy with gadgets and Cyrus has been taking piano lessons. He wrote his own song and recently learned B.I.N.G.O. Shira met the mayor's wife and with much less importance I've stayed busy coaching b-ball. This past fall I had the chance to coach Cyrus in soccer. He really enjoyed it so much so that we had an indoor practice yesterday.These pictures only show how quickly time flies, so enjoy the days as they come and try your best to wonder.
