La di da...look who's posting?

What a frustrating few months we've had. We closed out softball season, thankfully. But we are already planning for fall. Emma made a 14U travel softball team for now. She enjoys playing with the older girls and we feel that it will help her improve quickly. We are, of course, looking for a 12U team for her to play on if the opportunity comes up. She can't pitch at the 14U level, yet, since she JUST moved up from 10U this spring. That was a huge jump in distance and size of the ball. 14U adds another 3 feet to the pitching distance.

Raina and Jacob had a great time performing in our local drama program. They presented Suessical, Jr and had a great time. Jacob followed his usual pattern of holding multiple roles in the play. Raina was asked to be a student leader. I'm very proud of both them. Here they are in their costumes:



Unfortunately, immediately following the production we began to fall sick. Everyone has been on antibiotics at least once and I'm looking at another round right now. My tonsils feel like they are softballs in my throat, lol. So frustrating. ARGH

I will not be sick in 2 weeks!!! I have a trip to look forward to. Chicago!!!!! I can't wait, all my closest e-maginary friends :) I've never been to Chicago, so I'm really looking forward to new experiences.

Right now I'm wondering if my offspring will ever finish their math, however. Emma is screaming NNNNNOOOOOOO as I tell her to get her math book. Okay, not really, but she has ignored me now twice, but now she's off to get her book. LOL. Off to do a math lesson :)
