A few more T-Ball shots

Here are few more shots of Jake in action...

Spring rolls on...

Sorry I have not been as faithful about updating this as I have intended to be.
Andy and I went on our first real trip away for JUST US since our honeymoon over 6 1/2 years ago. We went to San Fransisco last weekend for two full days and three nights. Stayed at this really cool hotel, http://www.tritonhotel.com/ with a view of the Chinatown gate. We walked EVERYWHERE the entire weekend. It was fabulous!. We ate some really great food and saw lots of interesting stuff. But mostly we just enjoyed our together time.
It was nice to be home and have a warm greeting from the kids. We did actually miss them :-)
Jake's T-ball team won their first game this past week. Jake had 2 hits and even made it all the home for run for the team. He has learned so much about how this game really works this season. I am excited to see where it leads in the future.
Andy is already talking about letting him play football in the fall- YIKES!!!!
He also seems to think that Claire will be begging to play T-ball next year too (yes...they do let 3 year olds play- it's VERY cute). However...I have vision of tu-tu's and tap shoes in her future. We'll see what wins out.
The tree house is really starting to become a major hangout for Jake and Claire. We actually added a slide to it today. It's a bit steep, but after Claire literally flew off and landed on her face once. She jumped up to go try it again and again...the kid loves a challenge. I will post video of this event when I get a chance.
That's all for now.

T-Ball is bocoming a part of our everyday world. That seems to be all we are doing these days. Luckily for all of us, it is FUN (even Claire likes to "go T-Ball").

The only other big thing going at our house, besides the treehouse construction- which is plugging along nicely- is the metamorphosis of a tent moth caterpillar. We have a nicly formed cacoon going on in our bug catcher that we have to check on about 3 or 4 times a day to see if there are any changes. Needless to say, the progress is very slow when you only allow a few hours between observations.

I have, however, learned a great deal through my internet research about just what is happening and how long it should take.

It also really makes me wander just what our parents did without the internet to help answer all the millions of questions we threw at them.

I will keep you updated on the progress. I am showing a picture of what it looks like now so you can all have the pleasure just as I do of seeing just what a Tent Moth cacoon looks like - ENJOY!!!
