Opening Day

Yesterday was opening day of baseball.



Brendan is playing on a Farm team. This year, they are representing minor league teams, and he is playing for the Storm. We love the uniform, as it has two eyes on the hat. Brendan got a couple runs today and had a fun time playing.




C.J. is playing for the AA Angels team. He made it to 3rd base twice today, but his team wasn't able to bring him home. This year, he decided to bat right handed (he was previously left handed). He thought about switching back once today when he had a sore thumb, but stuck it out with the right hand.

Sheep!

The orchard behind our house is being mowed -- by a flock of sheep! The kids had a lot of fun hanging out yesterday watching the work in progress. Of course, they are now asking (begging?) for a pet sheep in addition to the ever popular puppy. As for Brendan's shirt -- I was not in charge of dressing the child!

Celebrating the Cat in the Hat

It's Dr. Seuss' birthday! Brendan celebrated in school yesterday and came home wearing this hat. His teacher said that she can read The Cat in the Hat with her eyes closed, and Brendan wondered how that could be done. Should I tell him that he'll figure it out when he has kids? I think I can still make it most of the way through Chicka Chicka Boom Boom with my eyes closed!
