Go Cubs!

All ready for his first game.


The team warms up before the game.

Up to bat.

Running into home plate.

Out in the field.

Zack is ready for the ball...as long as it is hit directly into his glove...without him having to move a muscle!

Zack batted 3 times and scored 3 runs during the first game...he's a natural! The boys really take "team sport" to heart when fielding. If a ball comes their way, they all dive for it, and end up in a pile-up for the ball. The coaches are working on their skills but generally, we think they're just happy they're all enthusiastic about the game.

As of today, there's been 3 games and 3 practices. Considering the intended direction of pitches versus the actual direction the ball ends up going in, amazingly, none of the team (coaches included) have been injured with a "fly" ball.

in so many words...

Erik: "What's with those glasses?"

Zack: "Maybe it's to help them see better. Old men and old ladies need glasses."

Adrianne: "Daddy wears glasses."

Zack: "He's old!"

happy easter, plus 7 days!

So it's a week late, but that's the way Easter happened for us this year. We didn't get to dying eggs until about 8pm Saturday night, and we still haven't busted into everything the Easter Bunny brought, 7 whole days after the fact, which may be the longest chocolate has ever lasted, anywhere!

But of course, here are the obligatory dying-eggs-cheese-fest-2009...




We were so lazy this Easter that we didn't even do the picture thing on Sunday morning, so there's no visual proof of all the candy Zack got this year, but rest assured, the child did not suffer, in any way, shape or form!

real quick

I'm on my way to bed, but wanted to put this up real quick.

This is Zack at his first t-ball practice, which I have more pictures from, as well as from his first game tonight.

Enjoy and I'll get more up ASAP!

say cheese!

Just messing around, making faces for the camera.
