It has been a busy summer for us so far. Lot’s of activity and things that we are fortunate to have a chance to do. My work had a raffle for a new program being started and the bank that is in my warehouse donated some Cincinnati Reds tickets. One of the supervisors won the tickets was unable to go so I bought the tickets off of her for $10. Not a bad price considering that the parking alone was $15 if we would have paid.

Other than it being really hot, the day was filled with fun and enjoyment and we are glad we had a chance to go. Ean just finishing up T-ball for his first was interested for awhile and really enjoyed that peanuts. I don’t think the folks sitting around us enjoyed Ean enjoying the peanuts though.

Here are some photos of the day and a short video clip that I took on our little camera.

For his first year, we are very proud of how Ean is doing in T-ball. His ability to try and hit the ball has been great and he has only needed to hit off an actual Tee during the first game. Every game since he has hit when at bat.

Fielding on the other hand is a different story. Because they have put him out in Right field, the ball very rarely comes to him so he gets bored out there and doesn’t really pay attention. I wouldn’t expect anything less of him out there because of the lack of action.

However, we are still very proud of how well he is doing for his first year.

Here are some of the highlights photos from the season so far:

At first we thought he was going to back out on us. However, he surprised us and not only enjoyed playing and but he told us how much fun he had playing. We are glad that enjoyed himself and we look forward to the rest of his games.

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.

I won free tickets to see the Colts play the Jets on December 27th. Unfortunately the coach decided to the loose the game for them and pull most of their starters when they only had a 5 point lead and allowed the Jets to come back and win by a large amount.

The roads were very snowy as we got about 3 inches of snow throughout the whole day and the roads were not always fast moving.

Other than that – we had a blast as it was April’s first professional football game and Lucas Oil Stadium was huge and a great place to be as a fan!
