Busy May!

Alex started playing tball games a week before Memorial Day.  He was so excited to get a hat and shirt that match!  If you've never been to a tball game, they're a little slow but very entertaining!  Each child gets 5 pitches from a coach, but then off a tee if they can't hit the pitches.  Alex got to play pitcher and center field and did a good job fielding the ball.  He had to hit off the tee his first time at bat, but hit a pitch the second time.  Even though he didn't understand the game, he had a blast. 

After the tball game we headed up to Warsaw to the Jackson's.  Stuart and Barbara came from Germany for a visit, so that brought Phil and Chelsey too!   It was so nice to meet Barbara in person and she will be a wonderful addition to the family.

Alex graduated preschool in May too!  We all went for his little ceremony and watched the kids sing songs for us.  Alex was so proud of his blue elephant that he made for the Noah's ark wall decoration that I had to take a picture.  :)  

Memorial Day weekend brought us up to Nappanee.  The kids were excited that cousin Casen would be there too.  We took the kids fishing to a neighbor's pond.  Even though it was cold and raining, they had a blast!   The pond was stocked with fish, so they just had to toss the line in and pull one out.  Thanks Jeff and Doris for taking us fishing!

Alex and Adam went to a friend's birthday party.  They had sooo much fun!  Alex loves his stuffed octopus and he had me take a picture.  Of course when the other two saw what we were doing they wanted in the picture too. :)
