First Communion and Mom's Day Celebration

We had a little fiesta in honor of Emma and Mom's Day after Mass on Sunday. Another HUGE thanks to photographer friend extraordinaire, Lara, for snapping all these pictures.

Emma's First Communion

Sunday, May 12, 2013 will go down in the Kasparek family history books as one of the most memorable Mother's Days of all time. Emma celebrated her First Holy Communion. It was a beautiful day in Naples and we were blessed to have so many friends there to share Emma's special day.

First Communion Photo Shoot

Friday after school our wonderful friend, teacher, and photographer, Lara, took some pictures of Emma in her First Communion outfit. I could have posted a hundred pictures from the photo shoot, but here are a few favorites...

We stopped by the Naples High School Wildcat Girls' Soccer team practice and got a few snapshots with the players (and our favorite coach).

I get this sneaky look over the glasses quite often...

I have know idea why people say Emma looks like me... :)

Baseball Opening Day

Yesterday was Opening Day of the spring sports season!

Here's Chris and his wonderful Youth Sports Staff before the opening ceremony.

All the t-ball, baseball, and softball teams during the opening ceremony

My favorite players!

There were lots of activities going on at Carney Park including some visiting Italian Firemen. Only in Italy do they let you take a ride in on the big ladder truck!

Let's play ball!

Emma's Golden Eagles team and Camden's Tornadoes team played at the same time on neighboring fields. Chris and I stood in the middle and cheered on both teams.

Emma got an out playing second base.

Camden's famous look of determination before he crushes the ball.

Emma's first up to bat

Scoring a run!

Suited up as catcher for the second inning

Ready to bat again

Camden played on the pitcher's mound during the second inning. It kind of looks like he just punched his teammate in this picture, but he actually threw the ball to first base. :)
