Kid Stuff

Ava is thisclose to having conversations now. She says oh dear and oh no and my seat. Tickle and Bible and even Dack for Jack. It's finally happening. Still lots of cute jabbering though. She's almost 2! We are gearing up for a party next week!

Jack is making us laugh. We had a whole day planned around him last weekend, and we stopped at McDonald's midway through for the dollar menu. He asked for a toy, and I said no. He protested once and I said, "We have planned this whole day for you, so don't complain about this." When he didn't reply, I said good job not giving me a hard time. He said, "Well, there was a little tear right here in my eye." Ha. He never lets up!

We have been laughing at his Tball games. All of the kids are so cute. There are so many funny things you didn't know would be said at a game. Matt had to tell Jack to quit staring at his shadow while he ran to first base. The coaches draw Xs to show the kids where to stand, and they are all obsessed with their X and worried if it gets messed up while they're playing. So you will hear "Don't play in the dirt" a lot. When they made two little girls separate to their positions, they said sadly "Bye". My favorite was when a mom came behind the fence to tell her little boy batting, "Why don't you try it the other way? You're right handed." It's really been fun! So just a few more nights of Tball before the trophy! So exciting!

Besides softball and Tball, we have been keeping ourselves busy with friends and the pool, and now are starting to look forward to VBS in August and then the Fair! Woohoo! And then who would believe school will be starting. Our lives will be changing forever. And we are excited!
