It is spring, and in recent years that means baseball. Michael has a new team this year, The Orioles, in a coach pitch league. Practice has been going on for a month, but there has been an absence of pictures because I am helping coach the team this season; with my wealth of baseball knowledge, it is the blind leading the blind. To make things worse, I know more than the head coach. Ouch.
It is a mixed league of first and second graders. Most of the kids are good, but a some don't listen at all, and a few of the second graders have attitude problems. We work through it because this a recreational league and their is a pretense that practice is fun. It is frustrating to see kids not try, but malice is much more iritating. One kid slide tackled another at second base the other night, and he knew what he was doing. He better not do anything like it again.

Here are the postcards that were sent to Michael and Alex's grandparents and greatgrandparents via Cardstore.com. I think of them as a mixture of public relations and propaganda. Read enough of their lives, and you can consider yourself a virtual grandparent/aunt/uncle. There are worse things.
