Still more Opening Day

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

I can’t help myself. I love my kids… I love baseball… I love brightly colored summer photos… So, I just can’t stop. My sister-in-law Heather took these photos Saturday at Opening Day. I’m posting them here for all eternity!
She got many more of Andy and Brady…

 
Brady played first base for the first inning. Doesn’t he [...]

Opening Day, part 2

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Andy and Brady’s coach’s wife is the league photographer… She did a GREAT job capturing so many cool moments of the day. She definitely got some better shots than I did… including some of Andy and Brady!
This is the majority of Andy and Brady’s team with two of their coaches (Nate’s the third, but he [...]

Opening Day Fun!

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Today was opening day for our baseball league. I think Nate and I were just as excited as the kids!
For Connor, it was his first ever game! Isn’t he adorable?

 
I happen to think his coach is pretty hot, too!

 
Andy and Brady somehow eluded my camera (perhaps because I was busy with team Mom business!), but [...]

The Friendly Confines

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I have to head off to a baseball board meeting soon, so I don’t have time to give you the full recap, but I will say this:
We had a GREAT, AMAZING, WONDERFUL time at Wrigley Field on Sunday.
We ended up riding the South Shore train into the city, then catching the Red Line portion of [...]

It’s That Time…

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

We’re thrilled. Baseball season is here again. My boys had their first practice last night!!
Connor’s giddy that his Dad is his coach… Andy and Brady are also giddy, because Nate is their assistant.
They were so hyper yesterday that they used a lot of energy before practice. By the time we got home after [...]

The Treatment

Friday, April 9th, 2010

With 8 million little ones around, we’re constantly working on character.
We’re often reminding them of what’s right with little sayings or rules. “We don’t hit girls.” “We don’t hit our brothers and sisters.” “Treat others as you want them to treat you.” “Be ye kind!” You get the idea.
Yesterday, Connor and Evan were going ’round [...]

Bee You Tea Full!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The weather outside today is simply gorgeous! I couldn’t pass up this opportunity, so I surprised the kids by squeezing in a trip to the park, somewhere between lunch and nap time. Seemed like the perfect plan to take advantage of 74 degrees and sunny. Plus, the public school kids were still being held prisoner [...]

A Pair of Sox and a Bird

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Since I’m the player agent for my boys’ baseball league, I get to be among the first to know the team assignments. My kids are giddy to “finally” know which teams they’re on this year.
Nate and Connor will be birds this year, orange and black ones! They’ll be on the Orioles T-Ball team. Connor, who [...]

ABC is not as easy as 1-2-3

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Connor is 4. He likes to learn new things. He is still, however, struggling with the order of a few of the letters in the alphabet.
Often his version goes something like this: “A B C D E F G, H I K J - lallalala - Q R S, W X Y Z…” It’s a little [...]

BIG Day(s)

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

These are important days around here! Yesterday was a day of mini-milestones. I love watching my children learn new things… and I don’t just mean at the homeschool table.
We had small successes all around yesterday. Ferris pottied in the toilet! We haven’t officially started potty-training, but when she asks, I let her sit there. She [...]
