Dear baby Grant,

The doctors have given you one more week to make your grand arrival. As a note, you don't need to use all of those days. Time to get going.

Love,
Mom

Tee Ball 101

We bought a bat and some wiffle balls for the kids for an Easter basket present. Too cheap to buy the overpriced tees they sell, I picked up a 2 ft piece of PVC pipe at the local big box warehouse.

Both have gotten into it, and so far see doing great at sharing. I intentionally bought a package that had 3 red balls and 3 blue calls, so that helps. They like me to hit, so then it's still clean to share with each getting a red and blue ball. The kids are very flattering, as they're very impressed with my hitting skills. Maybe we won't be going to a Twins game this summer.

Last night Elizabeth went in to get pajamas on as mom said she could have 30 minutes to watch her new Cinderella movie. Elizabeth came to get Adam, who was still playing with me outside, begging him to come watch with her.

E: "Adam, come in and watch Cinderella with me!"
A: "No, I want to keep playing baseball with dad. "
E: "But it's a really good movie!"
A: "Well, does it have boys in it?"
E: "Oh yes... It has 2! It has Prince Charming and the Coachman!"
A: (thinks) "Well, that's not enough!"

(He came in after one more round at bat.)
