Allie's class has been working on non-fiction books about animals for the last few months. Allie was assigned 'kangaroo'. We printed off lots of information from the internet and Neil even took a picture of some stuffed kangaroos on his last trip to Australia. Last week, all of the parents were invited to hear the children read the finished books. Mrs. Mullins told the class that they could 'dress-up' so Allie picked her fanciest dress. One boy in her class wore his baseball uniform! The presentation was very cute and Allie was so proud of her book. She dedicated the book to 'my whole family' and made all of the illustrations. The books are on display at school so everyone can see them!

Buy me some peanuts and CRACKER-JACK!

Today was opening day for the 2011 EastSide Baseball spring season. Ryan is in the Shetland league again and he is on the Twins (Not the Red Sox but at least it's not the YANKEES!). Ryan has been practicing with his team for a few weeks and he has definitely improved since the fall! The league is 'coach pitch' for 5 pitches and then you get to hit off the Tee. He hit off the coach every time today!! The Twins beat the Phillies 20-14. Ryan had 4 singles, a few RBIs and scored 3 runs. The kids were all great and had a lot of fun!

Ready to play!

Ryan's biggest fan!

9 months

Sean is 9 months old! I cannot believe that we are only 3 months from his first birthday. I feel like I will blink and he will be 4! We had his check-up today and other than the return of his wheezing, he is doing great.

23lb 11oz - 90th %
28 in - 50th %

He is still short and stout...a tank baby. Sean is such a good-natured baby. He smiles and 'talks' to everyone. He is starting to crawl and pull-up. Sean LOVES to stand-up. He 'thinks' he can let go and walk...but he can't. Sean is wearing size 12-18mo clothes, size 5 diapers, and taking 2 naps (and still sleeping all night 7pm-7am...heaven!!). He loves to interact with Allie and Ryan. They always make him laugh and smile. Sean is eating all kinds of food and prefers food that he can pick-up and feed himself over spoon-fed baby food. He is changing so much every day!

She's a MANIAC!

Catching up

It seems like more than 2 weeks since my last post! It seems like the groundhog was right as we are enjoying nice, warm days right now. We are spending lots of time outside which is wonderful!

Ryan started spring baseball and he is on the Twins this season. Our afternoons are now full with either baseball, Choi Kwang Do (both kids) or Spanish (Allie). Next week is winter break so everyone will be home from school for the week. We have lots planned. We are excited to see Tara and Charlotte who will be visiting from Salt Lake City for most of the week. YAY!

Sean will be 9 months on Sunday. How is that possible? We have his check-up on Monday so I will post his stats and more about him after that.

Here are a few pictures from a recent afternoon outside:
