Lily's instructional league

Gillian played pre-t-ball what they call here Instructional League. Here are some pic from her on her last day, about a month ago:

Baseball lessons

We decided against paying for cable so we could watch every red sox game. Every so often we DO get a game on a normal network with our antenna. It's a big deal, and luke takes that time to indoctrinate our children with the love of baseball and the Red Sox in particular. We have a team set of baseball cards that comes out during the game so we can see who's on first, or up to bat (although it wasn't a complete team set, we must work on that). Anyway, this particular night Bruce learned that we always root for the Red Sox and AGAINST the yankees. Sometimes parenting is so much fun ;)
