We took the kids to Lowes this morning and I forgot the camera so I had to use my phone for all of the pictures.
Ean was really into his project including putting on his apron and eye protection. Ella on the other hand didn’t want anything to do with the protection gear.
The kids project turned out very nicely and they are both enjoying playing with their new UFOs.
Next project is August 14th and it will be a bug box that Ean says he has to be there.
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:

Ean is growing up. No matter what we do, nothing will stop it. On the final day of preschool, Ean had a play party where the afternoon preschool kids all got together in the gym (it was supposed to be at a part, however there were rain storms the night before).

It was a final farewell for all of the kids to have lunch and plenty of play for the last day of preschool.

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.

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.
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.

Another holiday has creeped by us – the kids get plenty of candy and the grown ups start eating Peter Rabbit and the kids cry because they want eat the chocolate bunny’s head off. Ah, the candy cannibalism.
The kids are really starting to enjoy the hunt for eggs now. Ella undestands what she is doing and Ean has a hard time not taking her eggs. I just wish that it would be warmer around here around Easter so we could have a larger full scale easter egg hunt outside.
Enjoy the pictures. The kids all had fun.

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.**
