Pirate game 2011

Our first Pirate game for the year and it was so much fun. We ended the outing with running the bases. Caleb, Sadie and their friend Simon, stood in line and patiently waited to walk out on the field and run the bases.

here's video of us walking out onto the field




and running the bases...



there will be more pics to come but i'm too tired to retouch right now. Sadly, the Buccos lost but we still had lots of fun

allergies

So they're saying that this year has been absolutely terrible for allergies and I can certainly believe it. Andy's been living on zyrtec since March and even though I've never really suffered from allergies, I've found myself more congested and uncomfortable then ever.

Sadie, however, has developed a new and unusual allergy. She's decided that she's allergic to turtles. Now we're not sure if this means that she can't be around turtles or if it's more that she can't eat them but she's pretty insistent on it. Even at the doctor's recently, the doc asked me if she had any allergies (wanting to be sure that she would be okay on antibiotics) but before I could respond, Sadie informed the doc of her turtle allergy. The doc looked at me wide-eyed and I really didn't know what to say, except that "yep, that's Sadie." In defense of the doc, she doesn't usually see Sadie. Somehow, I think that Dr. R, her usual pediatrician would have just laughed it off. He's definitely used to Sadie's stories.

So, while most households need to be nut-free, we will be going turtle free but I have to admit, I'm curious as to what her reaction is to turtles.

Easter Morning 2011

It took the kids quite awhile to find them, even with Daddy telling them hot or cold.



and yes, at one point Daddy tells the little girl that she's getting really cold but she assures us that she likes to be cold and then puts on a pretend jacket.

But she finally finds it after much persistance
