Connor's baseball

Unfortunately, Connor's season came to an end last night in the first round of playoffs against the Giants. It was a nailbiter till the end. Great finish for our boys! Now on to 9 yr. old tournament team.

Kyle's biggest fans!!

Easter

Baskets of Goodies

Cole was so excited! It could have just been a basket full of jellybeans!

New Phillies Gear

Kyle was thrilled as usually that his brothers were up at 7am! At least he wore his Hot Pink shirt for the occasion!

More of Cole's T-ball

Look how professional they look... Cole didn't get the memo "no tackling in baseball"! I promise to have my other children added to the blog before the baseball season is over!

Crazy hair day at Caley

He would make such a cute clown! Cole had a doctor's appt. so he didn't get to partake in the fun!

Cole's 1st T-ball game

Cole got a hit after only 2 swings!

It looks like he is paying attention

Cole can always pose for a picture.

Connor and Cole's school pictures

Cole's all ready for T-Ball!

Doesn't he look like such the man! First year of T-ball he is on the "BEES". Go Bees!!! There will be plenty of baseball pictures of all three boys to come! Got to love baseball season!

Cole took a creative movement class

Cole took a dance class "creative movement". He really enjoyed it but had to show off his usual "hip shaken" move!

National Down Syndrome Awareness Day 3/21

The Down Syndrome Creed

My face may be different
But my feelings are the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the heavens
Looks down from above
To Him I am no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It comes from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not from the start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace!

I am back!

I know long time...Let's see what happened in November, December and January. I had my whole family over for Thanksgiving during which our kitchen sink clogged which made it a lot of fun. Dan got the small truck he was looking for! Christmas was nice all though I heard Santa could have done a better job in the presents department. Cole is doing great at his new school and big brother Connor has given in and lets him hug him when they see eachother through out the day. We have had enough of this weather already! Ready for Spring. I will try to keep up on updates. Our computer has been down twice in the last two months and that makes me feel lost. I have attached a video for your enjoyment of Cole in the "Dance for your heart" at school. He loves to dance!
