It isn't the beginning of softball...

if you aren't freezing your butt off at the first practice!  This is Emily and me at Megan's practice on Saturday. It was taken with Ron's cell phone so the quality is bad but you get the general idea of how cold we were!

Due to the cold, Emily didn't have practice with either team this weekend.  Megan says it is because the big girls are wimps!

Emily did have a pitching lesson on Saturday morning.  We LOVE this new lady!  She is fantastic!  She said Emily has more strength than any 11-year old she has ever coached.  I could tell she really meant it and wasn't saying it just to get us back.  Half way through the lesson she had Emily throwing a change up!  It is amazing!  Emily has the mechanics down pat now we just need to get her confidence where it should be and she will be UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Oh and after a winter of not touching a softball, this is Emily today (again, taken with Ron's cell phone so crappy quality).  The thing on her shoulder is a heating pad.  She is extremely thankful for ibuprofen today!
