First Cards game of the season

We went to the Cardinals game this past weekend - first time this season for all of us.  

This picture sums up how we all felt about it.  Penny and I were glad to be there.  Cole didn't really understand what was going on.  Laine was a bit cranky at the beginning (until she used the bathroom and got a snack!).  And Mead was super excited about the game.

In the end we had a nice time - the kids enjoyed peanuts and cotton candy.  We stayed until the end of the 8th inning and saw the Cards win 3-0.

Oh, and Penny and I get to go with adult friends again this week :-)

Cool Guy Shades

These pictures are a little old from my phone, but Cole still does this regularly...

He loves the girls' sunglasses, despite the fact that I bought him "boy" sunglasses, and he loves to wear them upside down!  Too cute!!

Oh, and here's his 30 month stats from our doctor visit the other day:

Height 38 inches (89%)

Weight 38 lbs 1 oz (98%)

Head 52 cm (97%)

Big boy!

Hanging around at school

One of the advantages of living next door to the girls' school is that we often hang out over there after hours.

Cole finds fun new toys to play with.

And we occasionally bump into other friends.

Mead and Laine see their artwork on display.

And sometimes they get some special attention from the teachers.

We love Covenant Christian School!

Time for a Haircut

This boy likes to sweat... even when we're playing inside.

And then he likes to rub his hands through his sweaty hair and make it stick out in every direction!

So I buzzed the back of his head really short - just like I cut Daddy's hair.

Happy haircut, big guy!  Here's hoping you won't look quite so disheveled this summer.

Happy Drawing

I found this a while back - one of Laine's many doodles...

Content

Mary is one of Mead's closest friends.  But she also dotes on Cole :-)  The other day Mary's mom snapped this picture of them, sitting together eating ice cream on a cold day.  Can't you just picture them still sitting together eating ice cream about 70 years from now?  Still snuggled together and content...

Batter up!

Once the weather got a bit warmer, Cole instinctively brought his bat, ball, and tee up from the basement and began playing with it outside.

He knew just what to do and even got a few good hits!  Swing on, little man!!
