The Angel League

Vera and Emma have successfully completed another year of Angel League softball! For 6 weeks we were all treated to a constant question from Vera, "My game?" She loves 'her' game and looks forward to it. In my mind she is a star! She throws the ball so very hard and well and ambidextrously. Pretty impressive stuff.

Emma enjoyed the games more than last year, when she usually pooped out after her first at bat. She still loves her pink glove and could care less about donning baseball pants and cleats as Vera does.

Each Angel League player has a helper during the game. Luke, Song, and Anna were most often the helpers this year. Song and Anna played their softball games after Vera and Emma's games, so they were usually in uniform, too.

Note that Anna and Emma are on deck behind Luke.

Could they be any cuter together, these baseball lovers of mine?

Emma sliding home, as always.

More Angel League basketball

Yes, I've done it again...held my camera at the wrong angle. Well, at least this video is very short, showing Vera and Emma making a basket. Emma is not strong enough to propel the ball to the basket, so her Daddy gave her the assist.

Vera's basketball video

We'll see if this works. If so, you can see Vera in a light blue boy's shirt dribbling all around and eventually she dribbles under her leg. You can also see Emma in a blue striped shirt, dancing around! Emma spent most of the practice running after errant balls, falling down on them and staying down! Vera spent quite a bit of practice running after errant balls for others and sweetly returning them. I loved how aware she was of the other people with special needs.
