The Natural

I wish Audrey could play tee-ball with Luke this year (she isn't old enough). Look at that batting stance! She's a natural. She missed the ball in this picture, but had a great swing. After warming up on the tee (she kept hitting the tee instead of the ball) I pitched some balls to her and she actually hit them! I was so impressed! (And yes, we need to buy a helmet!)

Spring Training 2010

It's Spring which means it's tee-ball season!! Luke had his first practice last week and we practiced at home the night before (that's what these pictures are). Ben is an assistant coach this year and he said they had a really good first practice. The games will be on Tuesdays and Fridays at 5:30 beginning the first week of May. We will let you know when we have the exact schedule!

Up Late

Last night we watched the national championship game (all but the last 3 minutes because our CBS station blacked out, but that's beside the point). As the kids were getting ready for bed Audrey asked for Happy Bear. We looked every where and could not find him; we realized she must have left him at school. Oh the tears! Big ones rolling down her cheeks. We found Happy Bear #2 (thank you Great Aunt Kathy!) and she was okay with him being her snuggle buddy, at first. She came out of her room crying again about half an hour after we "put her to bed," or rather took her in her room to play for a while. We let her snuggle with us for a while then Ben took her back to her room. She naps at school and therefore does not go to sleep until after 9:00, even though we do the bed time routine at 7:30 and get them in their rooms at 8. Luke is usually asleep within half an hour. Audrey, not so much.

At 9:45 she came back out and wanted to snuggle some more; she missed Happy. This picture was taken at 10:00 when she was finally getting tired. She slept with Happy #2 and Bunny (the bunny Luke made for her before she was born). I guess a bear and a bunny make up for one Happy Bear.
