"It's T ball, Daddy, not baseball"

Very first game.  He knows where to run, when to run, and pounces on any grounders.  Maybe next time he'll let someone else hit first.  I guess he likes it.

Memorial Day happenings

 Do these kids look familiar from parades and other outings?  Today was a Memorial Day 5K for adults and a 1K for kids.

They had bananas, water, bagels and...Tootsie pops (?) after the race. 

So, the start of the race was a little chaotic.  Evan does run in front of the camera, look for the white stripes on the side of the pants next to the girl in the pink shirt, the same girl he ends the race next to.

Pre K graduation

With some of his best buds.  Between the 3 of them, they have enough energy to fuel the whole city.

Lilac time means...parade!

 Evan really wanted to wear the earmuffs in case any loud noises came unexpectedly.

Watching a parade, eating some snacks, life is good

Daddy and me spring time activities

 

Getting ready for t-ball this summer.

This picture is so misleading, Evan didn't really help much.  It just looks so cute.

 

5th birthday party

Yes, a shower of candy is worth screaming for.

Birthday weekend surprises

The first birthday surprise for Evan was the appearance of Grandpa and Grandma.  Everyone took a turn with the Wii.  Here is Grandpa and Evan dueling swords.



We braved the crowds during the city's spring break to see penguins, fish, dolphins and jellyfish and much more.

The second surprise for Evan and for Grandma and Grandpa was Reid and Suzie showing up.



Evan had his annual check up and his stats are 44.5 inches and 41 lbs. which puts in the 80th and 50th percentiles respectively.  I guess when you have endless energy you burn off all the calories you take in.  He got 3 shots which he bravely withstood but not without many tears.  He sure was happy to hear that he won't need any more until he's 12 year old.
