With the help of his dad, Nate built a pretty cool snowman today. He was sure to get out his Snowman Kit that Gramma Char gave to us. You can tell that we have a little spring fever in the house as the snowman is ready to play baseball! Not so sure if a baseball player should be puffing on a pipe, but, oh well. He is wearing his heart patch.
Speaking of baseball, we signed Nate up for tee-ball league in the spring. Nate's birthday missed the cut-off date but we called to ask if he could sign up for the 5 and 6 year olds since those would be the kids he goes to school with next year (I know, that's a whole other issue we're dealing with...he's going to go the school. yikes.). Anyways, the manager said they would let him sign up and then they would decide at evaluations. What? He has to try out for tee-ball? Seriously? They don't even do kindergarten screening in this district! I guess this is the big leagues around here. Baseball is a pretty big deal. Therefore, Troy, who is trying to live vicariously through his son as well as planning his retirement fully based on his son's athletic potential, has been tying Nate's right arm behind his back and running drills ever since the sign up meeting! No pressure, Nate.
Our new baby cousin arrived today! Aunt Kelly had a scheduled c-section, thankfully, as Christian weighed in at a whopping 11lbs 11oz. Yes, that's eleven pounds AND eleven ounces ON his birthday! Congratulations Kelly, Sam, big sister Haley and big brother Keaton!
We went to the UM basketball game last night. We got to see Coach Rodriguez sitting several rows in front of us and we certainly contributed to many Wolverine programs as we spent a lot of money and time at the concession stands! The half-time show was the Piston Flyers that use mini-trampolines to do crazy basketball shots. Therefore, this morning, Nate and Tessa were inspired to rearrange several toys and pieces of furniture in the toy room and kitchen so they could "fly" and "dunk." Luckily, no one was injured. And, we decided we should probably start with something much simpler, like free throws.
