"LET'S PLAY BALL!!!"



Yes, the All-American Sport has finally hit Doha! Well, our family here in Doha, anyway. It has been here for past years, but this year, our family will have its own little star-player named NICHOLAS LORENZO!!!













Daddy, Mommy, and Sissy were all up-and-at-it early this morning, to show our support of our lil' t-ball player. Armed with his glove, bat and ball, Nick was off to the skills assessment event at the American School of Doha. All 11 of the boys and girls that signed up to play ball this season were, as expected, simply adorable! The morning consisted of a rotation through 4 stations: running the bases, catching, pitching, and finally Nick's favorite, BATTING!! He did so well at all of them, running only 3/10 of a second slower than the top runner (a six year old)!!! He didn't catch any balls, but fell over himself just trying to stop them from getting by him; and he hit 3 out of the 4 balls attempted. Overall, he did amizingly well; already being called a little "firecracker" by some of the other parents, whom I should add, kept coming up to us asking if he was OUR son!! "SURE IS; AND WE ARE SOOOO PROUD OF HIM!!"








See you all at the games!!! You know we'll all be there, cheering on our lil' guy!! "GO, NICK!"
