We are really excited for this season to start. Skyler is playing T-Ball! He is loving it. This morning, he had his first "game" (more like a two innning scrimmage, but I am not telling him that!) They also took picturesand had opening cerimony. My dad and my uncle came to support our little Slugger. Dan couldn't make it because he is out of town for work. He is working in Colorado, but staying in Nebraska! I know he would have loved to see Skyler play.
This is our first T-Ball practice. I think I was the only Mommy there with a camera taking pictures of practice! But like I said, Dan is gone and I wanted him to see some of that too!
This is Skyler, right in front #10, heading to the dugout for their scrimmage. Remember, I am preserving memories for Dan, don't poke fun at all the questionable pictures.
I looked out, saw Sky on second base, turned and told my Dad (excitedly) "He's on second base!". My Dad looks at me, in a very serious way, and says "Isn't he a little young to be going to second base." Only my Dad would turn it into something ... well, a little dirty , and really funny!
Here he is getting ready to hit his first ball in his first game! I know... I know, a little sappy but I don't care!
He missed the coach-pitched balls, so they gave him the tee. Man, he ripped that ball. It went passed the infield (which was the furthest hit by both teams playing). He said after the game that he was trying to bust the stuffing out of the ball.
The best part of his game was when he slid into home! I missed it because I was looking for Emma Lee under the bleachers. THat would have been a fantastic picture but, of course, I missed it.
We had a wonderful time, except for the high winds, both kids did great. Emma Lee found some friends under the bleachers, playing in the dirt. She got nice and dirty, but that's why we have bathtubs!
I will leave more for another day!

It's A British Invasion... sort of
No we didn't have the Beatles over for dinner but who cares... With Dan's new job, comes new friends! A couple weekends ago, Dan invited his new friends Greg and Carl over to the house for dinner. They are from England and are completly wonderful! They stayed and played pool with Dan and Todd until about 2:30 in the morning. We had such a great time. We will be sad to see them go home the end of May.
Greg is standing and Carl is holding Emma Lee. I think Greg told Dan that he would mail him an authentic British dart board for the game room. It will be wonderful to keep in touch with them even when they go home!
