…did I tell you E’s started reading. She practically taught herself, although she’ll tell you that her big sister taught her how. Here she is, reading a story to her baby brother:

And, the snow has finally melted. This past weekend we took the Christmas lights off the house, and yesterday the kids were out playing baseball on the front lawn. The sky is a bit gray as a thunderstorm rolled in just as we were finishing up. E-boy loves to do anything his sisters do, and as I’m just not comfortable with him swinging a bat, he was the designated fielder. The girls both practiced batting some with the tee and some with Daddy pitching. I tried to get some shots of them actually hitting the ball, but my camera skills are lacking. You’ll have to take my word for it that A. hit this pitch.







Wow, they’re wonderful! You lucky, lucky, girl. Enjoy them! I’m sure you’ll think of something wonderful to adorn them.
