Now batting for the Giants....

second baseman, Aidan Rhea!!!

Just thought I'd share Ace's t-ball pictures. The season's almost over, and it looks like the Giants are gonna finish with a perfect record (we don't keep score). I'm so proud!! We've enjoyed watching our little man make friends and gain confidence out on the field. And he's not a bad little ball player either! Thanks to all of you who came out to cheer for him, and to those of you who couldn't...don't sweat it. I see MANY more ballgames in our future!

Ace is standing and third from the left. I don't know why their mouths were all open...I'm guessing they were screaming cheese...

Happy Spring!

Well, spring has officially arrived...or maybe it's been here for a while, I don't know. The fact of the matter is, we had our first "springtime experience" last Sunday. First of all, the weather was completely gorgeous. Blue skies, warm breezes...beautiful. And if you've never been to our house in the spring, your nose is missing a real treat. There's honeysuckle EVERYWHERE. It grows wild in the ditches and trees on the side of the road, and also all along the back of our fence. It smells WONDERFUL. And any kid from the country knows that not only is honeysuckle a delight for the ol' sniffer, but for our tummies as well! So while we were outside, Larr taught Aidan how to peel and eat the nectar from a honeysuckle flower. Sophia honestly couldn't have cared less, but Ace thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread. "Mmmm...dewicious," he would say. We spent practically the whole day outside...first mowing, then swinging, eating honeysuckle, sliding, and finally playing kickball until almost dark. It was nothing less than perfect.
