Girls Program Tuesday Thursday School

The girls had their end of year program on a Friday night. They had been practicing songs for weeks for the program. When we went to drop them off with their classmates before the program they cried and screamed and didn't want me to leave them. All the kiddos gathered before the program and then they were to walk out and go up in front of the church and sing all their songs for us. Russ and I tried to sit where the girlees couldn't see us. We just knew the moment they saw us, they would run right for us. To our amazement, they went right to their spot and sang the whole time. Now they didn't do the hand motions and all but we were simply amazed, especially being as shy as they are and all! We were so proud of them. It was so cute, Rylan got so tickeled at them singing during one part of the program and it got us all tickeled hearing him laugh! It was good to see him enjoying his sister. It reminded me that ah, he does love them even though they may fight and bicker with each other at times. It was a sweet moment!

Baseball Season

Boy he looks like his Daddy here!

Oh, my gosh, baseball season is nearly over and I havn't posted anything on Rylan's games. He is doing so much better than last year at hitting the ball. It is amazing how much a little one developes in a year and we see it every year. He has been picked to be a "pull player"to play with the next age group up. He is one of four other boys from his age group that gets asked to play for a team when they are short on players. He has now been asked twice to play. We are so excited for him. He was so nervous the first game we pulled up to. He said "Mom, they are so big" I had many emotions for him. I was so excited but sad for the fear and anxiety he was feelin. It was one of those moments I wish I could wipe the fear away for him, put him up to bat, and he slam one right over the fence. BUT he got through it! The second time he was running to put his gear on!!! I never saw him move so fast! So anyway here are some pics. He is also a catcher and one of the pitchers for his team. We are so proud of him! (The last picture is of him at his first game he played with the big boys. He looks so sad and scared to me!)
