Fun Week

This week I volunteered to take pics for my son's baseball team. We missed the official picture day (plus they are CRAZY expensive when you buy the official pics) so I thought I'd dust off the skills I picked up in my photography classes last fall and give it a shot (pun intended).

I am so pleased with how they turned out! Doesn't P look so grown up? He'll be 8 in August and I continue to be so proud of his good attitude. Baseball has been hard for him (there are 2 balls coming at him at a time you know!) but he gets out there and tried hard.

And last night at practice, he hit 11 balls! Amazing, really. Our end-of-season tourney starts Monday, and although I am ready to not have to sit in the 101 degree heat for games anymore, I will really miss it. Baseball is totally my favorite sport.

I didn't charge the parents for the pics, and emailed the hi-res images for them to print their own, or use however they like. Since I planned on ordering wallets and such from www.mpix.com (they do rounded corners and use Kodak Endura professional paper), I offered to order anything the parents wanted at cost. Quite a few took me up on my offer and I just got them all sorted out and ready to deliver. It was fun!

How has your week been?
