Ean’s first year at preschool is starting to wind down and the weather is starting to participate. Ean’s teacher, Leslie, wanted to give the kids some different type of activities. The kids played with sidewalk chalk, a parachute, and water balloons. The kids really enjoyed their day outdoors.

So it began today – The start of Ean’s baseball career. His very first t-ball practice was this evening. He made friends pretty quickly with his teammates as their ran around the bases.
One promising thing is that Ean will not be the only first year playing. The bad thing is that after the first practice, the team isn’t looking so hot. Good thing we have a few more practices to go.
We do have copies of the schedules if you want. Just let April or I know.
Mike and Chris bought ducklings for all of the grandkids and they finally got big enough to release at Mike’s dad pond.
So we took pictures of the special events and Ean even got a fish for the efforts.

Yesterday, Ean was invited to Isabel’s birthday party. Isabel is in Ean’s preschool class.
Just a short history – Isabel was the first girl that Ean asked to marry him. She told him no and Ean has since moved on. Now they are just friends.
Ean was pretty excited to go to the party and when he got there, he was the only boy there so he was in heaven. Even though Ean and Isabel claim that Kline was invited as well, he was unable to make it.
A great game of Duck-Duck-Goose.

Ean got a chance to go the Wells County Library during L week at pre-school. The kids got read some stories and watched a small movie. They were all impressed with the star ceiling as the lights went down.
The kids also got a tour of the library and saw all the cool things that Ean could do “if” we lived in the Wells County. We are about a half mile from the county line.
Too bad, the library was a pretty good one.

Today we went to Bailey 5th birthday party at the Huntington Skating Rink. Bailey is the son of Whitney, who I work with and April has played with her for softball.
I was really sure how Ean would take it as he tends to shy away from new things, however we have been trying to pump him up for it. It went rather well. Ean took to his skates immediately and we even tried a pair on Ella. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a pair on April.
All in all it was a great party with one exception. One of the ladies dressed up in a Birthday roo costume. Ean had the fear in his eyes, but as long as stayed across the rink from here he was alright. Ella, on the other hand, loved the costumed lady and went right up to her to get her picture taken.
Thanks Whitney and Bailey for the invitation!
**Sorry for some of blurry pics. Moving kids and dark lights don’t make great pictures.**
I know that I’m several weeks late, but April attended Ean’s preschool party for Valentines day. The kids had a blast playing games and eating cupcakes and cookies. They played with a parachute and silly races. Great fun by all!
Here is some pictures and a couple of video clips to show for you.

Back in January, Ean’s preschool went to East of Chicago and made their own personal pan pizzas. The kids absolutely loved getting their hands dirty and decorating their own pizzas with sausage, pepperoni, and cheese.
Check out the pictures below for Ean and his friends.

Now that Ella turned two, it was time to move her from the crib and crib matress into a big girl bed.
While we were discussing Ella’s bed, we wanted to move Ean out of his race car bed and into just the matress. This would free up alot of space in his room for the massive amounts of toys he owns.
Both changes took effect today and both kids are excited about the changes. Now, I hope that they will both stay in them tonight.
The other day we put Ean’s minifigures all together on his Lego table.
I was pretty surprised at how many that he had. 116 is the final count that I had, but there were about 4 or 5 more that we couldn’t locate at the time.
He plays with them all, we just run out of room to store them all.
