Welcome Lady!

After our sweet Morris escaped in January our house hasn't been the same. Last week, a friend called me saying that an owner had abandoned their cat at the vet's office. Ken and Thomas went to meet the kitty and before I knew it, we had adopted her. Thomas named her "Lady". We had her declawed and were allowed to bring her home today. She is such a sweet cat. She has a similar personality to Morris. She is taking her time getting used to the house (and the noise). Finally....another girl in the house! Yes!

Braves vs. Phillies

The Braves played another great game on Saturday night. Thomas went up to bat three times and each time he hit the first ball thrown to him by his coach!!!! We were all so excited that he didn't need to use the tee. We are very thankful that Nana, Papa, Grandma Seiko, Aunt Michalle, Emily, Tom, Grammy Pammy and Daddy Vroom-Vroom came to the game. Wow! What a great cheering section!

HOPE is our CURE

Relay for Life is an 18 hour event to help honor the faces of cancer. It is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Throughout the school year, my team has helped raise money for this amazing organization. Everyone chooses to particpate for their own reasons. These are my reasons.

Braves vs. Rays

On Wednesday, March 24th we played another ball game. Thomas did so well focusing on the game and only played in the clay a few times. For some reason the game was much shorter. I guess it's because most of the kids hit the ball that was thrown rather than having to use the tee. Thanks to Nana, Papa, and Grandma Seiko for coming to the game!

Braves vs. Pirates

The day after our "frustrating" game we played the Pirates. It was a Saturday game at 6:00 PM! What a difference! Thomas got a great night sleep. In fact, I woke up early to go to some garage sales and the boys decided to sleep in until 8:30. Go figure! Thomas played all day and relaxed. By the time it was game time, he was more focused on his two "goals": no playing in the clay and focus on the game. Nana, Grandma Seiko and Aunt Michalle came to cheer us on. Nathan was happy to be in his new toy I got a garage sale. It makes all kinds of fun sounds. It has a long handle in the back for an adult to steer. After the game it was PJ Day at Bruster's Ice Cream. We met the team there in our jammies and celebrated a great game! A perfect way to end a Saturday.

Braves vs. Twins

This game took place at 5:30 on Friday. When we have games on school nights I pick Thomas up from school and head straight to the ball field. Needless to say, it makes for a LOOONG day considering he wakes up a little before 6 am! At this game Thomas had a difficult time paying attention to the game. He was too busy twirling in the outfield, making sand castles with the clay and tossing his glove in the air. (Those were just a few of the infractions!) It was so frustrating for Ken and me to watch. In fact, I didn't even take any pictures since I was so distracted. We set new "goals" in hopes that the next game would have improvements. Thanks to Grandma Seiko for coming to the game and watching Thomas play.

Puppy!

Nathan loves his puppy! Here's what I saw the other morning! :)
