Baseball!

Yes, it's finally arrived...that moment you know when spring has officially arrived...it's the sound of the bat making contact with the baseball. We've been playing Little League for about 4 years now, and I can't imagine the day when the boys will be done playing. Our season started on April 14. Tonight the boys played hard and the game was called for darkness with a score of 10-10. Monday night, they beat out another home-town team in the 8th inning 4-3. Our Tiger team is playing hard and playing well together. I love to see the teamwork! I wish I had some pictures to post of the boys in their uniform. That will have to come later, I suppose. Steve and I were out of town for the opening day activities so I missed out on those pictures. The boys love to play ball, and they have some good friends as a result of their involvement in Little League. It's been a great experience for our family. So far, in our regular season, the boys have won 3 out of 4 games. Pretty good track record so far. We're proud of them!

Easter Surprises!

Easter this year was such a treat! We were together as a family...well...almost all together. On Sunday, I had 25+ people in my little 1,500 sq. ft. home. The biggest surprise that day was waking up to SNOW! We had a great time as a family. While I was wishing that my sister from Kentucky could be home, little did I know that she was on her way to PA. Monday night, we all got together again at my sister's house...and the next surprise (second one was being invited to my sister's house) was that Joanna was home from Kentuck! It was a "quick" visit with them as they went to their son's house to be with them, but especially to be with the grandbaby they have there. What a pleasant surprise it was to have them home. Hopefully, we'll see them next in June.

I don't know about anyone else who home schools, but I'm ready for school to be over! I'm ready for a 'vacation' from formal education.
