She's got a grip

Since she was old enough to grasp on to things, April has had an amazing grip. Pap likes to call it her "gecko grip" :) I took these pictures the other night and thought it was pretty good for her to be able to "palm" a baseball at 13 months old :)

hmm...what do we have here?

oh, a baseball. I got it, no prob...

Dad, what do I do with it now?


Throw it? Left-handed pitching is where it's at!

I have such a strong grip, I can't seem to let go.


Just hanging out with the ball I can't let go of...

Um, you want me to hold this too?


How about I just kick it instead?


Mom, do you see me holding this ball upside-down?? 
I've got mad skills.

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)
