Red Sox in the Playoffs

Ryan and his Red Sox were in the playoffs the past week and a half. Luckily, Grandma Witt timed her trip to Seattle perfectly and got to see 3 games. The weather in Seattle has been unbelievable, in the low to mid 80's, so it was great weather to take Lexi to watch her big brother play some baseball!! We did make sure she was protected from the sun with her hat, glasses and sunscreen. :)

Ryan got to come into the game to pitch, this made Vicki and I very nervous! So much pressure for him, but he handled it like a pro and got 2 or 3 strikeouts in the one inning that he pitched. Sorry...my video skills need some work, but hopefully you get the picture.

Great pitching Ry!

We had some fun on the sidelines as well....we thought Lexi would look cute in her sunglasses so we gave them a try...she was actually awake when we took these pictures, I thought for sure the glasses would never last and that she would take them off immediately...or fuss....or something!! But she left them on for about 3 innings! I couldn't believe it....she loved them!

Derek, Vicki and Lexi.....so cute.

She might look a little gangster here.....

Ryan batting against the Tigers. They won 2 playoff games before losing to the Minnesota Twins...who will go on to play the Dodgers (sans Manny) for the title. Ryan had a great season and is getting used to the kid pitch league....and in the final game, he had 3 RBI's (out of his team's 6 runs...and sat out 3 innings), and his last at bat, he ripped one into center field for his best hit all year. We are so proud of him....great job Ry!
