It's no fun, but at least it seems to pass through the system quickly. We have another health related update that will include pictures. For this post however, pictures are available upon request only.

Eliza practices keeping her eye on the ball.

That's the look of a .750 batter with 3 RBI's in her first game.

Eliza gets the finer points on how to turn a double-play.
Or at least how not sit down and pick grass.

"I caught a ball thiiiiiiis big!"
